Bug#558761: Upgrading xkb-data fails

[Arjan Opmeer <arjan.opmeer@gmail.com>]

Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.7-1
Severity: normal

Today upgrading of xkb-data failed:

Setting up xkb-data (1.7-1) ...
dpkg: error processing xkb-data (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 xkb-data

I believe this is because of this line in the postinst script:

       rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/X11/xkb 2>/dev/null

On my system /etc/X11/xkb is a symlink to the directory /usr/share/X11/xkb.
Trying to run that rmdir command gives the error:

   rmdir: failed to remove `/etc/X11/xkb': Not a directory
