[Fink-devel] PostRmScript
Hi, I added a line to qgis-mac.info: PostRmScript: rm -rf %p/Applications/qgis%v.app But this does not seem a good solution to me. I do this because, after I use qgis for a while, when I try to remove qgis-mac, the .app directory stays for some files not supplied by the .deb file. This is perhaps because, as I used qgis, it modifies the contents of qgis%v.app. (I know it is better if I could use /sw/var or something) Another problem is, when I do `fink reinstall qgis-mac', I guess because of PostRmScript, fink thinks it successfully installs qgis-mac, but it disappears. I wonder if my PostRmScript is acceptable, or I should find a better way. All the files are in my experimental.

Sometimes there is a way to supress them or else to have them created during InstallScript (i.e., be part of the .deb). > Another problem is, when I do `fink reinstall qgis-mac', I guess because of > PostRmScript, fink thinks it successfully installs qgis-mac, but it > disappears. According to the Debian package-script docs, postrm does run during an upgrade/reinstall (because the old/previous one is being rm'ed). There may be a way to distinguish upgrade/reinstall from actual "just remove". > I wonder if my PostRmScript is acceptable, or I should find a better way. No, because as you said, it doesn't work:) You could PreRmScript to remove the specific files that aren't in the .deb. By the time the removal happens, they are gone, so there are no "stray" (not owned by .deb) files. But this is really a hack. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

The "official" word on what dpkg should be doing regarding when and
how each of the {Pre,Post}{Inst,Rm} scripts is explained here:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html
Perhaps you want this as a PreRm not PostRm, so that it happens before
the old package gets rm'ed?

If you only want to do something if it's being fully removed, you need to do: if [ "$1" != "upgrade" ]; then # do stuff fi -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.

[Fink-devel] PostRmScript does it job after upgrading - sequence is wrong
Dear Developers, I am a maintainer for a programme, CcpNmr, which installs minor updates, like Webmin, to its point release through the user interface. Hence, when an upgrade is made, from one point release to another, dpkg does not remove the directory. To clear it up, I have a PostRmScript. The annoying thing about the the functioning of the script is that it gets executed after dpkg replaces the old programme by the new one, after an 'update ccpnmr-xx-xx' comand or 'update-all' command. This leaves the user with no installation of the programme! The only way to make it work is to first remove the old version and the freshly install the new version. Is this a dpkg bug, and if it is can a shotgun fix be added to fink to execute fink remove and fink install, sequentially, instead of whatever is happening now in the direct (overwrite?) upgrade that is happening now. Many thanks. Best regards, Murali. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
