Package: sabre Version: 0.2.4b-25 Severity: normal Tags: patch The postinst script will fail if there's already an existing stat-override. Since the if statement checks to see if there is an existing stat-override, when it's true, it should use --force to make the new override. The patch I made seems to work just fine. I hope it works for you too.
