Package: 9menu
Version: 1.4-10
While attempting to remove and then reinstall 9menu, I kept getting
messages of the form
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec
format error
(sometimes the message was about the pre-removal script: Exec format
error)
In looking at the scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info, I noticed that every
other package's scripts begin with
#!/bin/sh -e
The scripts for 9menu begin with the if statement. Could this be the
problem?
running linux 2.2.17, libc6 2.2-1
