Public bug reported:
on a fresh bionic install (cloudimg)
apt install tinyproxy fails due to bad assumptions in dpkg install
scripts.
```
Setting up tinyproxy (1.10.0-1) ...
chmod: cannot access '/var/log/tinyproxy/*': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package tinyproxy (--configure):
installed tinyproxy package post-installation script subprocess returned error
exit status 1
```
I touch a file in that directory so that glob matches and it exists, and
run again:
```
Setting up tinyproxy (1.10.0-1) ...
chown: cannot access '/var/log/tinyproxy.*': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package tinyproxy (--configure):
installed tinyproxy package post-installation script subprocess returned error
exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
tinyproxy
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
```
I touch a file matching that glob and try again:
```
$ sudo touch /var/log/tinyproxy.delme
...
Setting up tinyproxy (1.10.0-1) ...
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/tinyproxy.service →
/lib/systemd/system/t
inyproxy.service.
```
Expected: ability to install the tinyproxy package without workarounds.
