The patch is just

--- common.functions.preinst	(revision 3411)
+++ common.functions.preinst	(working copy)
@@ -21,7 +21,8 @@
 {
     dodelete="$1"
     orig="$2"
-    local package="$3"
+    local package
+    package="$3"
     new="$4"
     version="$5"
     if [ -r "$orig" ] ; then

And it is untested, but I don't really see why it would need
to. However, we should add this "local package" line at all occurences
of a package variable in function definitions of our common.functions.*
scripts. But that (not using local) is a different story, and not a RC
bug. Using local in a non-supported syntax *is*.
