Package: preload

I get the following error message when installing preload for the first
time:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:

0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Need to

After unpacking 176kB of additional disk space will be used.

/var/lib/dpkg/info/preload.postinst: line 25: [: =: unary operator
expected Starting preload: preload.
This is caused by missing quotes around a variable:
case "$1" in
configure)
# This was supposed to go to /var/lib/preload/
# (rm this after etch=stable?)
if [ $2 = '0.2-1' ] ; then
rm /var/cache/preload.state || true
fi
;;
variable $2 is empty when the package is installed for the first time,
hence the error message.
Tiny little patch:
