[Build-common-hackers] Bug#396382: cdbs: pysupport and debhelper create an unusable portinst file

[Oliver Cordes]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.47
Severity: important

I'm using python to write some small daemons. The packaging just works
fine except that the postinst file is unusable:


 ---

# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/triggerfam" ]; then
        update-rc.d triggerfam defaults >/dev/null
        if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
                invoke-rc.d triggerfam start || exit $?
        else
                /etc/init.d/triggerfam start || exit $?
        fi
fi
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_pysupport
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && which update-python-modules >/dev/null
2>&1; then
        update-python-modules -i /usr/share/python-support/triggerfam
fi
# End automatically added section

 ---

In this file the necessary modules are created after the deaemon should
start ... that is sometimes impossible because I need the modules for
starting the daemon. Please change the order of the commands
dh_installinit and dh_pysupport ....
