7

SYNOPSIS

9       DEBIAN/postinst
10

DESCRIPTION

12       A package can perform several post-installation actions via maintainer
13       scripts, by including an executable postinst file in its control
14       archive (i.e. DEBIAN/postinst during package creation).
15
16       The script can be called in the following ways:
17
18       postinst configure old-version
19           After the package was installed.
20
21       postinst triggered "trigger-name..."
22           After the package was triggered.  The list of space-separated
23           trigger-names is passed as the second argument.
24
25       old-postinst abort-upgrade new-version
26           If prerm fails during upgrade or fails on failed-upgrade.
27
28       old-postinst abort-remove
29           If prerm fails during remove.
30
31       postinst abort-deconfigure in-favour new-package new-version
32              [ removing old-package old-version ]
33           If prerm fails during deconfigure in-favour of a package.
34
35       postinst abort-remove in-favour new-package new-version
36           If prerm fails during remove in-favour for replacement due to
37           conflict.
