Looks like /var/lib/dpkg/info/veepee.postrm is a shell script without an initial #! line saying so. If you add a line to the beginning of that file reading '#! /bin/sh' (without the quotes), does it work? I can't find a package called veepee in the Debian archive, but you should definitely complain to whoever built the package about this. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
