i don't find the corresponding location in the policy for that (i'm not even sure it has one), but this such behaviour of a package is wrong on so many levels. postinst, with the exception of starting daemons (which can be controlled by policy-rc.d), shall never spawn any processes in the background. so.. the dwww package needs to be fixed and there's actually nothing generic we can do about it in live-build. for dwww, i suggest to not run the indexing in the first place and only give a message to the user that he needs to run it (like e.g. done in the doodle package). but at least, dwww needs to ask the user (with debconf, default to no) to do such a thing. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
