Package: wims Version: 1:4.07a~dfsg1-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, I was able to reproduce with: DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer /var/lib/dpkg/info/wims.postinst configure 1
the transactions are fine, exit 0 of the wims.postinst execute, then deconf parent script wait forever with the wims.postinst child zombie. I added dn_stop (at end at first then after the $RET grab of db_get). Attached patch is the latter.
