Package: nvidia-cg-toolkit
Version: 2.0.0012.deb6
Severity: normal
Hello,
I'm on a slow connection and I cannot let the package postinst script
download the nvidia toolkit from web:
Setting up nvidia-cg-toolkit (2.0.0012.deb6) ...
Downloading
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/cg/Cg_2.0/2.0.0012/Cg-2.0_Jan2008_x86_64.tar.gz
on the amd64 architecture.
0KB [..dpkg: error processing nvidia-cg-toolkit (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)
I got to kill it, and manually launch:
# nvidia-cg-toolkit-installer --install \
--toolkit-file /pendrive/debian/Cg-2.0_Jan2008_x86_64.tar.gz \
--spec-file /pendrive/debian/Cg-2.0_Jan2008_LanguageSpecification.pdf
but the package remains unconfigured:
# grep -A 1 "Package: nvidia-cg-toolkit" /var/lib/dpkg/status
Package: nvidia-cg-toolkit
Status: install ok half-configured
So it would be nice if the postint prompts for a debconf choice to either
download or install from a local downloaded copy.
Thanks,
Sandro
PS: it would be even nicer if the package won't get reconfigured (thus
redownloading the file) at each new debian revision (.debX) but only
when upstream version bumps.

Just checked this. The debconf prompt will appear at install time. It will
also appear by running 'dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-cg-toolkit'. The option to
use a local file is there and works fine. Therefore I believe this bug is
resolved and I'm closing this bug.
