Bug#527566: mediatomb-daemon: Installation error due to postinst script

[Jeppe Øland]

This fix is apparently not making it into testing because it depends on
mysql-dfsg-5.1.(And this package was blocked by aba).

Any idea when it will move to testing?

 Sorry I mean configure instead of purge.
 

FYI, here, there was no previous version installed, so, in the following code :
if dpkg --compare-versions $2 le 0.11.0-3; then
update-rc.d mediatomb remove /dev/null || exit $?
fi
$2 is empty, and I'm not sure dpkg --compare-versions $2 le 0.11.0-3 should 
be executed, then :-(

I patched the /var/lib/dpkg/info/mediatomb-daemon.postinst script to protect 
the configure code by a test like :
if [ x$2 != x ]; then
...
fi
and it solved the problem.

I guess this should be a valid workaround.

Best regards,

The '|| exit $?' happens during 'configure', not 'purge'. Were you trying to
