I noticed that when I am installing a Metapackage, *all* the pre* and
post* scripts are executed. Even for the packages which were not
selected to be installed.
This strikes me as odd, for I would think it logical that if a package
within a metapackage is not selected for installation, it's pre* and
post* scripts would not be executed. Alas, they are executed anyhow.
There doesn't seem to be any arguments or environment variables which
indicate the chosen packages, so it's hard for me to simulate the
logical behavior.
I could simulate it in the post* scripts by checking for the existence
of installed files, but there is no way to fake it in the pre*
scripts...
Is there something I'm missing, or perhaps someone would have an idea
how I can get the action I seek?
Thanks!
