I was also able to reproduce the problem and have done some debugging
which boils down to a result I completely fail to understand. If I
change in the lenny chroot the file
/var/lib/dpkg/info/science-linguistics.postrm to something like
set +e
db_version 2.0
set -e
everything works smoothly. I have no idea at all why the db_version
call throws a non-zero exit code without any message nor if this is a
consequence of some other previous problem.
However, I can not change the postrm of the Lenny package anyway and so
I probably need to find a workaround for the "missing" config file in
/etc/blends which is actually there and has the extension .dpkg-new.
The question is whether I should really introduce a pre-depends (I
actually do not really see a real need for this) or whether I should
just use the dpkg-new file as fall back. Both "solutions" are simply
dirty and I think finding the real reason for the problem would be
helpful in finding a real solution - but for the moment I somehow tend
to really use pre-depends (and will drop it after the Squeeze release).
Thanks for having a look into this - any further hints are welcome
Andreas.
