Hi everyone,

I was trying to be user-friendly in my port of VCMI. Therefore I created the script below as debian/preinst. It works fine from the HAM, but fails from apt-get.

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# This script was copied from kernel-power and somewhat modified. Thanks!

test "$1" = install || exit 0 # upgrades are fine
f=/tmp/vcmi-message
cat > $f <<EOF
This package installs the VCMI game engine and some required binaries. However you will still need the original game binaries of Heroes Of Might And Magic III (3). You will not be able to run VCMI without these binaries!

If you are not sure how to install these binaries, please have a look at http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=795124&postcount=182

You can also visit the official VCMI website for further instructions: http://vcmi.eu

If you want to cancel the installation now, tap the blurred area above this dialog.
EOF

maemo-confirm-text "Important Notice - VCMI" $f
res=$?
rm -f $f
exit $res
Is there a way to make maemo-confirm-text fall-back to the console (readline?) if the installation was started from apt-get (or dpkg)? Or any way to check that in the script?

Thanks,
Dan
