[Popcon-developers] Bug#229092: popularity-contest: unprotected db_input call in p-c.config breaks once seen

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.8
Severity: important
Tags: sid

The call to

    db_input high popularity-contest/update-mailto

in popularity-contest.config can legitimately exit with status 30 (if
the question's already been asked, but the postinst has not yet
completed [because the question came up during preconfiguration], or
the config file has somehow regressed); as such, please protect it
with "|| true".

Thanks!
