Sorry I was unclear. I meant to add set -x inside postinst.common to
enable "debugging". The best place would be close to the bottom:
do_all() {
<few lines>
pkg="$1"
set -x
<all the rest>

Ok, but we need to see if we can reproduce the problem again...

Yes I agree that there is nothing strange.

Well --purge cleans everything. Do you have any possibility to try to
reinstall the old version, add that debug in postinst.common and try to
upgrade again?
I really can't see the problem and if we don't spot it or someone for us I
doubt there is much i can do for this bug..
Thanks
