.deb package postinst call another script in package

Question

Is it possible to call another bash script within postinst?

I am trying to call another bashscript which is inside of the debian package. Currently I do not seem to be having any luck doing this.

<postinst>
./postinst_script_2

Answer 1

Yes, you can call another bash script from inside your package during postinst. The postinst happens after the package is unpacked into the filesystem.

You probably can't depend on what the current directory will be when the postinst is run, though. tripleee is right; use an absolute path to call it.
