[Bug 1720304] Re: lsvpd: Do not run vpdupdate during installation

[Frédéric Bonnard]

Hi Vasant,
does that mean that we don't need to run vpdupdate on both, installation of a new package, and upgrade of the package ?
If so, what is vpdupdate binary needed for ? Do we still need to keep it packaged ?
Regards,

F.

  ---Problem Description---
  Presently during installation we run `vpdupdate` command which generates vpd database. (see debian/postinst) .

  Its quite heavy weight process.  Also we have way to detect/rebuild
  database during runtime. Hence there is no need to run this command
  during installation.

  Lets remove it from installation script.
