Package: gnumeric
Severity: important

Hi,

The preinst script prevents gnumeric from being installed in cases such as:
- a debug instance running from a local directory,
- with piuparts, while an instance of gnumeric is running

If the problem that the preinst attempts to avoid is that of the
gnumeric/$version/ directories being removed on upgrade, it should
*really* limit itself to testing for such scenarios. E.g. it does not
make sense to bail out when it is a new installation, or when
upgrading from x.y.z-1 to x.y.z-2, does it?

I question myself about the severity, as in some regards it could be
considered an RC bug.

Cheers,
