If you want to quit a script, use exit. exit 0 means everything ok, any other value means error. normally the exit value of the script is the value of the last command which was run, but to be sure to exit cleany you can add exit 0 at the end of the script. Nothing more should you do to 'Error unwind' something, the rest is done by dpkg. Bastian
