[Bug 355800] Re: *** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf, but the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf.

Andreas, I've linked this bug to a corresponding Debian bug, where the
changelog entry fixing it says:

   * Call ucf with --debconf-ok in nagios3-common.postrm.
     Depend on ucf >= for this "feature" (Closes: #513905, #515289)

(I think the changelog entry is wrong, since he actually changed the
postinst.)

This is more correct than your change in two ways: firstly, it only adds
ucf --debconf-ok in the postinst, not the postrm - the postrm doesn't
source the debconf confmodule so shouldn't use --debconf-ok; secondly,
it sets an appropriate versioned dependency on ucf. Please could you
rework your change to be a backport of the Debian change (which you can
extract from http://patches.ubuntu.com/by-
release/atomic/debian/n/nagios3/nagios3_3.0.6-4.patch), and explicitly
mark it as such in the changelog so that developers merging this package
in future know that it's safe to discard conflicts in this area in
favour of the Debian side? Thanks.
