Bug#399768: mkvmlinuz script fails with "command not found" error

[Sebastian Heutling <sheutlin@gmx.de>]

Package: mkvmlinuz
Version: 26
Severity: normal

The output is:

Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Using mkinitrd.yaird to build the ramdisk.
Not updating initrd symbolic links since we are being
updated/reinstalled 
(2.6.18-5 was configured last, according to dpkg)
Not updating image symbolic links since we are being updated/reinstalled 
(2.6.18-5 was configured last, according to dpkg)
Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/mkvmlinuz
/usr/sbin/mkvmlinuz: line 149: prep: command not found

The line that is refered to looks like this:

if dpkg --compare-versions $release ge 2.6.18 && "$arch" != "prep"; then

as you can see the "test" command is missing for the second comparison.
