[Debconf-devel] Bug#413509: database communication does not work

[Joey Hess]

Are you using the QT debconf frontend? Do the problems occur with a
different frontend?

What does it look like if you export DEBCONF_DEBUG=. and reproduce the
problem (complete log please)?

In your original bug report, you showed the preinst dying of a segfault.
That's a shell script dying of a segfault? Do you have any reason to
believe that this is not a hardware problem?

+ return 0
+ '[' 1 -ne 0 ']'

If I'm reading this correctly, db_set is returning 0, and its caller is
getting a 1 back in $?. Barring a broken shell, I don't see how that's
possible.
