Reinstalling works without errors. I did some debugging and came up with a
patch. The problem is this snippet in postinst:
if [ ! -d /var/log/setuid ]; then
mkdir -m 750 /var/log/setuid
chown root:adm /var/log/setuid || true
for file in /var/log/setuid.yesterday /var/log/setuid.today
/var/log/setuid.changes \
/var/log/setuid.changes.*; do
[ -e $file ] && mv $file /var/log/setuid
done
fi
The [ -e $file ] has a return code of 1 if the given files don't exist.
This return code seems to become the return code of the whole postinst
script, later. Here's my proposed fix, which works for me (tm):
--- postinst 2005-03-16 23:27:57.000000000 +0100
+++ postinst.new 2005-03-16 23:28:26.000000000 +0100

- [ -e $file ] && mv $file /var/log/setuid

done
