Re: Re: 'whereami'-package in debian, testing/unstable

Hi Andrew,

I've got the same problem, and the last lines of the output when I turn 
on the debugging mode as you indicated are as follows:

+ db_get whereami/use_old_whereami
+ echo 'GET whereami/use_old_whereami'
+ local 'IFS=
'
+ local _LINE
+ read -r _LINE
+ RET=10 whereami/use_old_whereami doesn't exist
+ return 10


If I comment out the lines

    test -e /usr/share/debconf/confmodule && {
      db_get whereami/use_old_whereami
    }

from the postinstall script, the script runs without errors, but I don't 
have time right now to verify that the installation is correct.

Hope that helps,
 Alexander.
