Package: xymon
Severity: serious
Version: 4.3.30-2
Tags: pending

Due to a superfluous leftover debconf initialisation in xymon.postinst
not being removed with the cleaning up of old transition code, upgrading
xymon (but not xymon-client) resulted in a hanging upgrade process as
well as in a xymon.postinst zombie process.

A fix is committed locally and I'll upload soon, but it still needs some
more testing how to handle further, but more harmless leftovers from
that incomplete code removal.

Filing this bug mostly due to several transitions (well, mostly t64 transitions) being listed on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xymon to
make clear why an upload is currently necessary.
