Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-33 Here is what I get:
marin13# dpkg -i cron_3.0pl1-33.deb (Reading database ... 22220 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace cron (using cron_3.0pl1-33.deb) ... start-stop-daemon: unable to stat executable `/usr/sbin/cron': No such file or d irectory dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... start-stop-daemon: unable to stat executable `/usr/sbin/cron': No such file or d irectory dpkg: error processing cron_3.0pl1-33.deb (--install): subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 start-stop-daemon: unable to stat executable `/usr/sbin/cron': No such file or d irectory dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: cron_3.0pl1-33.deb Apparently the install fails because the installation script is run with -e set. If I touch /usr/sbin/cron, it installs fine.
