Querying what packages are installed in postinst
For the next version of a package which I currently have sponsored in
Debian (mozilla-mozgest) I want to add support for mozilla-firebird
(preliminary packages are avalible from
http://people.debian.org/~eric/debian/i386) and mozilla-snapshot. The
problem is that in order to do this I need to do different things for
each of the browsers in postinst and postrm. Basicaly what I'd like to
know is if theres a nicer way to test if a package is installed than
just testing the existance of files that the package would create if it
was installed?
Thanks,
Alan
