Is this serious for etch? [abi@grinser.de: Bug#417013: depends on non-essential package debconf in postrm]
Hi
I just got this bugreport and I agree that it is a problem.
However I want your opinion whether this is serious or not. Especially
as it is a bit tricky to get ntop into etch, because of the libgd2 dependency
problem while building for some arches.
Regards,
// Ola

hi,
while running archive wide piuparts tests your package failed on purge
because of debconf beeing unavailable during postrm:
Purging configuration files for ntop ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ntop.postrm: line 6: /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing ntop (--purge):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
ntop
the full log can be found here:
http://people.debian.org/~abi/piuparts/ntop
please be sure to use a conditional call to debconf and its commands (this is
just an example):
--
if [ -f /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ]; then
. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
fi
db_get ||:
--
Please also note: Bugs filed on Packages failing in postrm because of debconf
beeing unavailable are not considered RC for etch, so are tagged etch-ignore.
