Bug#400544: Still cannot install in Sarge
found 400544 2.6.18-8
thanks
The upgrade error still seems to exist in the configuration script.
There is no -m available in readlink in Sarge.
Error occurs is in the postinst, as indicated. Please either remove the
-m from readlink OR update dependencies such that newer readlink is
installed prior to postinst running.
