It's not perfect, however: mkdir emptydir3; cd emptydir3; touch ./-z Frankly, I think the only reasonable action to consider in a postrm would be removing the empty directory, in which case just use rmdir on it [if this is the only command in the postrm, don't bother with set -e, if it's one of many steps and can only happen after the set -e follow rmdir with ||true]. -- Raul
