help with dpkg --configure error message
I've got a broken package and whilst I've got the package working by poking
about dpkg is convinced it's still broken and regales me with a tedious
message every time I run it. How do I debug the problem?
At the moment I get this:
stoneboat:/etc/php4/apache# dpkg --configure proftpd
Setting up proftpd (1.2.4+1.2.5rc1-5woody2) ...
dpkg: error processing proftpd (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
proftpd
stoneboat:/etc/php4/apache#
After some poking about I found that the package scripts are stored in
/var/lib/dpkg/info but I can't tell which bit of which script is going wrong.
How do I get some debug info.
In fact I got proftpd working anyway so I really just want this complaint to
go away (leaving the package database in a sensible state).
Can someone tell me what to do or what I should have read?
thanx
