Bug#383210: etherconf: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 128

["A. Costa" <agcosta@gis.net>]

Package: etherconf
Version: 1.19
Severity: important


Upgrading from v1.18 to v1.19:

    % dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/etherconf_1.19_all.deb
    (Reading database ... 184368 files and directories currently installed.)
    Preparing to replace etherconf 1.19 (using .../etherconf_1.19_all.deb) ...
    Unpacking replacement etherconf ...
    Setting up etherconf (1.19) ...
    dpkg: error processing etherconf (--install):
     subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 128
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     etherconf
    % echo $?
    1

I compared the v1.18 '/var/lib/dpkg/info/etherconf.postinst' with
the v1.19 version, but the files are identical.


Hope this helps...
