[Dbconfig-common-devel] line 9: dbc_logline: command not found

[Andreas Tille]

HI,

I try to debug package scripts using dbconfig common.
The <pkg>.config script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh -e
# config maintainer script for gnumed-server using dbconfig-common
DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer

export dbc_debug=1

PKG=gnumed-server-common

# source debconf stuff
. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule

echo `date`: $0 $@ >> /var/tmp/gnumed-server_inst.log

# source dbconfig-common shell library, and call the hook function
if [ -f /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/config.pgsql ]; then
     . /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/config.pgsql
     dbc_go ${PKG} $@
fi

echo `date`: $0 $@ >> /var/tmp/gnumed-server_inst.log

#DEBHELPER#

When I try to install a package containing this config script
I get the following error:

Preparing to replace gnumed-server-common 0.2.4.2-1 (using gnumed-server-common_0.2.4.2-1_all.deb) ...

The "critical" line 9 just wants me to say

    dbc_logline "W: use of dbc preinst hooks is now unnecesary and deprecated"

which does not seem to be a show stopper for my purpose but a bug of
dbconfig common in any case.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
