Package: xfree86 Severity: normal Followup-For: Bug #235981 I have linda (and lintian as well) to check my packages. Linda in turn depends on dash, which if installed, can't cope with the original bug, gives a lot of: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 628: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")") dpkg: error processing xutils_4.3.0-3_i386.deb (--install): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2 /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm: 621: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")") dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: xutils_4.3.0-3_i386.deb
on all of the XFree86 packages. As the fix is easy, please just do it. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.3 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
