Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.7+17
After today's upload, the configure step of "x11-common" fails
(presumably thanks to the addition of "set -x"):
> $ sudo DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg --configure x11-common
> Setting up x11-common (1:7.7+17) ...
> debconf (developer): frontend started
> debconf (developer): frontend running, package name is x11-common
> debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.postinst
> configure 1:7.7+16
> debconf (developer): <-- PURGE x11-common/xwrapper/allowed_users
> debconf (developer): --> 20 Incorrect number of arguments
> dpkg: error processing package x11-common (--configure):
> subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 20
> Errors were encountered while processing:
> x11-common
It would appear that "db_purge" is only intended for use during
package removal, and that perhaps "db_unregister" was intended
instead?
>From the debconf-devel manpage:
> UNREGISTER question
> This removes a question from the database.
>
> PURGE Call this in your postrm when your package is purged. It removes
> all of your package's questions from debconf's database.
