It contained two kernel modules, llc.ko and llc2.lo. I will attach the two files. To get the package to install and the upgrade operation to proceed, I renamed /var/lib/dpkg/info/libidn11:amd64.postrm to /var/lib/dpkg/info/libidn11:amd64.postrm.bak, after which a renewed dist-upgrade proceeded without any warnings or errors. After the installation /var/lib/dpkg/info/libidn11:amd64.postrm once again existed, and is now a script, as expected. What gives? Is this a bug in either this or the previous version of libidn? Is it now correctly installed? Was I hacked (I get a bit nervous when executable files spontaneously appear in random places)? I scanned the two files with virustotal.com, and it found nothing, but I don't think that means much.
