thanks

Patch below. I've applied this to Ubuntu. An identical patch also makes
sense for Debian.

Bug#748618: syslinux-themes-debian: Fails to uninstall: extlinux-update: not found

2014-05-18 Thread Sami Liedes 
Package: syslinux-themes-debian
Version: 12-3
Severity: serious

Uninstalling syslinux-themes-debian fails:


Removing syslinux-themes-debian (12-3) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/syslinux-themes-debian.postrm: 15: 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/syslinux-themes-debian.postrm: extlinux-update: not found
dpkg: error processing package syslinux-themes-debian (--remove):
 subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127


It seems that the extlinux package no longer (as of
3:6.03~pre1+dfsg-4) contains /usr/sbin/extlinux-update.
