Public bug reported:
This package failed to install on a recent Intrepid dist-upgrade. The
failure is caused by the post-installation script trying to delete a
non-existing directory (/var/lib/odbc) which returns an error:
Setting up tdsodbc (0.82-3) ...
rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/odbc': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing tdsodbc (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
tdsodbc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Manually creating this directory (only for it to be removed again in the
install process...) followed by apt-get -f install allows the install to
complete without error. The post-installation script should be updated
to either check for existence of this directory or to use a removal
method which ignores non-existing files/directories (rm -rf is a good
candidate...)
