Sorry, but in my ignorance I can't see the problem. So here is the
script:
#! /bin/sh
# prerm script for plptools-kde
#
# see: dh_installdeb(1)
set -e
#
# Workaround for a mis-feature (bug?) in kdelibs:
# If mimetype is inode/x-directory, then always the folder-icon is
displayed.
# If mimetype is something else, open dialog pops up. So, for displaying
# Psion's drive icons _AND_ opening drives without annoying dialog,
# modify konquerorrc to hide dialog when opening a Psion-drive
#
case "$1" in
remove|upgrade|failed-upgrade|abort-install|abort-upgrade|
disappear)
KDEBUGRC=`dpkg -S kdebugrc | awk '{print $2}'`
KONQRC=`dirname $KDEBUGRC`/konquerorrc
if test -f $KONQRC ; then
cp $KONQRC $KONQRC.$$
grep -v 'askSaveinode/x-psion-drive=' $KONQRC.$$
> $KONQRC && rm -f $KONQRC.$$

Can wiser eyes than mine see what it is??
