I spoke to Michael Banck on IRC. It seems that kill is usually in
/usr/bin/kill on Hurd
He's filed #380387 about moving kill to /usr/bin but until then
something like:
KILL=/bin/kill
if [ ! -x $KILL ]; then
# Probably Hurd
KILL=/usr/bin/kill
fi
in every postinst that uses kill should be ok shouldn't it? (and then
substituing /bin/kill for $KILL of course.
If anyone has a nicer way or agrees/disagrees then do speak up.
Simon.
