Control: block 760084 by -1 Control: block 745834 by -1 Hi.
Following up on a old bug, which now affect packages related to apache2. The new apache2 postinst code need such mechanism too. I ran into this when migrating sitesummary to the new apache2 setup. The sitesummary package recommends apache2, and when apache2 is configured before sitesummary, the sitesummary server is set up automatically. But as it is only a recommends, the ordering is not guaranteed and if apache2 is unpacked before sitesummary but configured after it, the sitesummary postinst fail. This is bug <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/760084 >. A similar bug is <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/745834 > regarding the svn webdav setup. What about making sure dpkg take recommends into account when ordering postinst scripts? If package A recommends B, and both A and B is installed in the same dpkg run, the postinst scripts should run in order B.postinst, A.postinst. It would solve the problem I see, and allow for a mechanism to specify postinst ordering also for non-depend relationships. Is there a better way to fix the problems we experience in bugs #760084 and #745834? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-bugs-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
