Bug#371152: upgrade failure determining smoking_guns



Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.20
Severity: normal

        _smoking_guns=$(grep -l "$1" $_possible_culprits)

It's possible for this grep to not turn up anything, and if it does, the
postinst will crash here, exiting with 1 and no indication of the problem.
If || true is added to the end, it behaves as designed, warning:

no overlaps found.
x11-common postinst error: bad symbolic links on system

Which is not the most useful error, but better than nothing.
