Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.43
Severity: normal
Hi,
Lintian says:
W: mailagent: postinst-does-not-load-confmodule
But the postinst does:
######################################################################
my $have_debconf = 0;
eval {require Debconf::Client::ConfModule;};
if ( ! $@ )
{
$have_debconf++;
import Debconf::Client::ConfModule ':all';
}
######################################################################
The postinst either uses debconf, if available, or it prompts by
itself (since the prompting predates debconf). Does lintian presume
that all postinst scripts are shell scripts?
BTW, feel free to lower the report severity.
