Package: bash
Version: 4.2-2
Severity: important

Hello,

I am running Debian GNU/kFreeBSD inside FreeBSD 9 jails. When I tried to
upgrade from squeeze to wheezy I got the following error:


Extracting templates from packages: 100%
Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 11090 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace bash 4.1-3 (using .../bash_4.2-2_kfreebsd-amd64.deb) ...

/usr/share/man/man7/builtins.7.gz (builtins.7.gz) in auto mode.
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/bash_4.2-2_kfreebsd-amd64.deb


I think this might be related to my root file system for the jail being ZFS
but I have to admit that I'm no expert on that. At any rate, is does make it
rather difficult for me to upgrade the package (as in, from what I know I
will have to manually edit the .deb and remove the preinst file) and it would
be nice if this could be fixed.

Let me know if you need access to such a jail in order to reproduce this,
I am sure that can be arranged.
