Hi Achim,
if I understood correctly a script called
/etc/postinstall/zp_octave_finish.dash
will be always executed at the end of the postinstall script
sequence and never renamed as ".done".
I am moving the octave update script in
/var/lib/octave/update_packages_list
so the new octave update should work as:
1) every octave-forge preremove/postinstall script
touches /var/lib/octave/update.flag
2) zp_octave_finish.dash checks if
/var/lib/octave/update.flag exists
and if so execute
/usr/bin/octave-cli /var/lib/octave/update_packages_list
3) /var/lib/octave/update_packages_list
updates the octave package database and removes the
/var/lib/octave/update.flag
If there are no fork issue on 32 bit, I will implement
in this way on 4.0.0 that I am just building together with
update of the 50s octave-forge packages.
Regards
Marco
