Examples please ... best would be only the postinst code that calls the

The packages were related to my installation of the prevu package.
Specifically, the gettext and wdiff packages were involved and the error
message when I attempted removal of the not-fully installed packages was:
----
2 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up gettext (0.17-3ubuntu2) ...
install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information.
dpkg: error processing gettext (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up wdiff (0.5-18) ...
install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information.
dpkg: error processing wdiff (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
gettext
wdiff
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
----
There were several other packages in the list when the first error
message was displayed during installation, but since they could all be
removed except for these two, and I did not note their names down.
