Just curious. If a
$ apt-get install some_package
gets stuck in some bug in /var/lib/dpkg/info/some_package.postinst
what is the proper way to back out until a newer version is available?
At this point restoring ones system to the previous state is now
beyond the ability of apt-get and will take several dpkg commands,
trying to install older .deb's. eh?
