Bug#559683: aiccu: postinst depends on existence of /usr/share/doc/aiccu/examples/aiccu.conf
Package: aiccu
Version: 20070115-10
Severity: serious
Hi,
>From http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s12.3:
«Packages must not require the existence of any files in /usr/share/doc/
in order to function».
>From aiccu's postinst:
EXAMPLE=/usr/share/doc/aiccu/examples/aiccu.conf
# Check if the /etc/aiccu.conf is actually the example
if [ diff -q $EXAMPLE $CONFIGFILE 2>/dev/null >/dev/null ]; then
DEFAULTCONFIG="true"
else
DEFAULTCONFIG="false"
fi
Also, you can't do if tests like that; what you want is
if diff -q $EXAMPLE $CONFIGFILE; then
