Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover:
happened, when I had $DEBUG="t" in my environment before the aptitude
install. Maybe I shouldn't do this, because random programs will spit
out debug messages, but the preinst script of slocate does really weird
things:
[...]
#DEBUG=echo
[...]
$DEBUG rm $i
[...]
$DEBUG dpkg-divert --package slocate --remove --rename \
--divert $i.old $i
[...]
Is this standard maintainer script practice? If not, I propose to set
DEBUG="" or rename the variable to something less likely to be used
otherwise, or at least do a '[ "$DEBUG" ] && DEBUG=echo'-construction.
