Your new package is not the problem, here. It seems that the old
version of your package provided a broken prerm script. So, when dpkg
try to uninstall it before installing the new version, it just
crashes. What you could do is just modifying the
/var/lib/dpkg/info/rcf.prerm file, in order to remove the bad lines,
those who try to remove /etc/init.d/firewall. Or, maybe cleaner, just
do a :
echo -n "" > /etc/init.d/firewall
which will create an empty firewall file, which will be deleted by
dpkg.
But, be quiet, that isn't a problem (again! :) with your new package,
