Re: postinst howto q's



Hi,
	Igor has already pointed out the the md5sum and non-confile
 postinst-handled file solutions. 

	As to the ugly hack of trying to call dpkg -l in the middle of
 a dpkg run, that may not be feasible since dpkg tries very hard to
 serialize access to its state files.

	The best solution probably is to create a script in
 /usr/sbin/pppupd-config, and tell the user to run that when ppp has
 been configured. (Make sure that this line does not get lost,
 scrolling up the screen, on a large upgrade run.

	In some cases it is better to let the humans make the tough
 decisions.
