Package: memtest86+
Version: 2.01-1.1
Followup-For: Bug #510329
Hi
Note: I'm not the maintainer of this package!
The error message translated into english probably is:
"dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-removal script: Exec format
error"
I can reproduce the following error message when the portrm skript
does not contain the shebang line: removing #!/bin/bash from
memtest86+.postrm causes:
