Package: kernel-image
Version: 2.0.7-0
The postinst and prerm scripts of kernel-image have as their first
line:
#! /bin/perl
My vanilla installation of Debian 1.1 seems to have perl only in
/usr/bin/perl.
The problem is exhibited with:
$ dpkg --install kernel-image-2.0.7-0.deb
<...>
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post installation script: no \
such file or directory
<...> returned error status 2
<...>
$
The unpacking succeeds but the configuration fails.
If I edit the kernel-image-2.0.7-0.postinst script in
/var/lib/dpkg/info to add the "/usr" to the path of perl and do
configure it all works nicely:
$ dpkg --configure kernel-image-2.0.7
