It´s this one: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6263 So I´m changing the uri-action-defaults.list in my postinst script if the script is installed on the current Maemo5 version. Cheers!

Can you tell use what the bug is and what files you need to change for the workaround?

Thanks Frantisek, Alberto and Marius! I think I will use the osso-product-info command as this seems to be the "best" way for me to do it. With the other solutions I have some problems: * /etc/osso_software_version does not exist on my N900. * pkg-config is only for *-dev packages and does not exist (by default) on the N900. * Checking for the feature is not possible, as the "feature" is a bug in some preinstalled library and I don't know in which one. I need this check because I need to figure out whether or not this bug exists and if yes change a couple of files to work around it. So checking for the OSSO_PRODUCT_RELEASE_VERSION with the osso-product-info command should work for me. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Re: Find out Maemo version from script
There is /etc/osso_software_version but the file is part of some package that can be uninstalled. Then there is osso-product-info command that reads it from config partition (where it is stored by flasher) and prints it. Why do you need it? Maybe checking specific version of specific feature/debian package is better that this?
