This could probably be phrased better. I'd suggest: ===== When the |postinst| script for the package receives a first argument of configure, it must call |ldconfig|; the |postinst| script make optionally invoke |ldconfig| at other times. When the |postrm| script for the package receives a first argument of remove, it should call |ldconfig|. The maintainer scripts for the package must not invoke |ldconfig| under any circumstances other than those listed in this paragraph. ===== Is that clearer? If so, I'll suggest a change to debian-policy. -- \ "A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular." -- | `\ Adlai Ewing Stevenson | _o__) | Ben Finney <ben@benfinney.id.au>
