I have had two packages fail on an upgrade -- here is the output from the postinst script (I put set -v and set -x in it).
Setting up foomatic-bin (2.0.2-20021202-1) ... set -x # Source debconf library. . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule + . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule #!/bin/sh # This is a shell library to interface to the Debian configration management # system. ############################################################################### # Initialization. # Check to see if a FrontEnd is running. if [ !
