[Debconf-devel] Bug#665901: debconf: Hangs if programs try to use if after db_stop was called.

[Robert Luberda]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.42
Severity: important

If maintainer script calls db_stop, than any other external command 
spawned by the maintainer script cannot use debconf any more. 
This affects for example update-inetd program (see #665898) and
will affect rlinetd's version of update-inetd if --debconf-ok is
passed to ucf (see #665443).


Regards,
robert
