tags 338638 help thanks Hi all,
we just received a bug report that is caused by a buggy prerm script in the package in sarge (it fails because it doesn't handle read-only /usr/local properly). Is there any way to fix this, except documenting it in the release notes? And on a related thought, if the bug was in the postrm script, would it be acceptable that the preinst script of the new version edits /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.postrm? Regards, Frank P.S. Andrew, are you able to find a workaround yourself, or do you need help?
