Bug Description
Binary package hint: dibbler-client
The configuration scripts does not work when dibbler configuration file is modified (and there is usually a reason to modify it)
renaming the current config file to something else and putting back worked
Please note, that this bug makes distro-upgrade fail ! ( + cuts off internet connectivity if dibbler-client provided DNS server list)
might be related to other bugs filed agains dibbler
full story:
distribution upgrade failed with error, that one or more packages failed to upgrade, the reason was reported as missing /etc/dibbler/
I tried to create the file, whatever the reason why it is missing was
(pwd = /etc/dibbler)
$ sudo cp client.conf client.
$ ls
client.conf client.
==and tried to configure it again
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up dibbler-client (0.7.3-1.1) ...
Error: The new file /etc/dibbler/
dpkg: error processing dibbler-client (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
dibbler-client
==failure + the file was gone
$ ls
client.conf

Also: why is the postinstall script trying to start the daemon with package-shipped conffile, not the present and default one?
