#240002 — run script after updating package

Subject	run script after updating package
Message-ID	<CXzRV-7XC-21@gated-at.bofh.it>

Hello,

is there a way, where i can run a script after updating a spezial package?


I have found this:  APT::Update::Post-Invoke {"/thinks/to/do.sh";}

This would be workaround but nice would be to only run after a spezial package was updatet.


Thanks

Kind regards
Philipp

Yes, and it's called "dpkg triggers" - [1].

That will run on any package install, upgrade, removal, and it takes no
arguments. I.e. it's purpose is way too broad and it is intended for
other tasks. Like needrestart or filesystem remounting.

It looks like you could do something useful with the advice at
