Package: fvwm2
Version: 2.0.45-BETA-4
This package produces far too much output during an initial
installation. It wibbles on about users old .fvwmrc files at some
length, even if there aren't any.
Policy s3.5 says:
The package installation scripts should avoid producing output which
it is unnecessary for the user to see and should rely on dpkg to stave
off boredom on the part of a user installing many packages. This
means, amongst other things, using the --quiet option on install-info.
Ian.
