[Baruwa] mailscanner.postinst: 477: cannot open /dev/tty

[Stefan Reuter]

Hi,

I get an error when trying to install the mailscanner package for
oneiric (4.84.3-2~oneiric) without a control terminal, e.g. via puppet:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailscanner.postinst: 477: cannot open /dev/tty: No
such device or address

The problematic line is:

([ ! -c /dev/tty ] || echo Checking/installing report files ... <
/dev/tty >/dev/tty)

If that line is removed from the postinst script the installation works
fine.

Maybe you could fix this and provide an updated package.

Thanks,

Stefan
