Package: hibernate
Severity: important
Tags: patch
hibernate tries to create /usr/local/share/hibernate/scriptlets.d via
postinst but allows for failure by using ...
"mkdir -p /usr/local/share/hibernate/scriptlets.d || true"
... to create the directory hirearchy. During uninstall, it also
removes non-empty directories in /usr/local but fails during prerm if
the directory could not be created (if /usr/local is mounted readonly).
The error in prerm should be ignored even if the error is because of
non-empty directories.
In my case, /usr/local is a set of 'network wide' utils that is mounted
read-only over nfs.
Failure transcript and patch follow:
