Package: ppp-udeb Version: ppp_2.4.4rel-9 ppp-udeb fails when the hostname is preseeded.
The problem is that debconf's db_input returns error code 30 when the asked value is preseeded. ppp-udeb.postinst bails out on this. Please check out the thread staring with http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2007/11/thrd2.html#00625 for the gory details. In this thread, Eddy Petrisor suggested a patch (attached below) which turned out to solve the problem. diff -ruw ppp-2.4.4rel.orig/debian/ppp-udeb.postinst ppp-2.4.4rel/debian/ppp-udeb.postinst --- ppp-2.4.4rel.orig/debian/ppp-udeb.postinst 2007-11-29 15:56:19.000000000 +0100 +++ ppp-2.4.4rel/debian/ppp-udeb.postinst 2007-11-29 21:52:41.000000000 +0100 @@ -169,7 +169,7 @@ # Ask for the hostname to use for the system (using the netcfg template!) while true; do - db_input high netcfg/get_hostname + db_input high netcfg/get_hostname || [ $? -eq 30 ] db_go || exit 10 db_get netcfg/get_hostname HOSTNAME="$RET" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
