With a proper 'if' statement, the problem should occur.
No - commands that are part of an && or || chain are excepted from terminating 'set -e'-shell scripts even if they exit with nonzero status (otherwise, there'd be little point in using these constructs - and the paragraph in question is automatically generated by debhelper). ;-) So that code block will simply delete the file if it exists and is a link, or do nothing if it isn't. So the error must be the result of one of the other two statements: 1. update-rc.d mt-st remove 2. update-modules Could you execute these two manually and check the exit code? (Or run the postrm script manually with "sh -x", which will show you the commands while (== as far as) they are being executed) Regards, Jan
