Hi Stefano,
in my postinst script I need to warn the user in case the script was unable to remove a non empty directory. How can I do this and have a lintian clean package? I thought to use a debconf note but lintian issues possible-debconf-note-abuse warning. TIA Stefano
please have a look at the Developer's Reference (1). Why not issue the error message when the error occurs? The shortest way to a problem solution for you way may be an informal mail to debian-l10n-english asking for a review of your debconf templates and package description. Of course you can upload your package as is, but this slows down the process. »Bubulle« will find your new debconf template and propose a more formal process lasting up to three weeks.
