arg!)

Title:
  whoopsie.postinst rejects legal arguments

Status in “whoopsie-daisy” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  case "$1" in
          configure)
  [...]
          *)
                  echo "postinst called with an unknown argument \`$1'" >&2
                  exit 1
          ;;
  esac

  There are several legal arguments to postinst other than 'configure',
  and whoopsie needs to accept them even if it doesn't do anything
  special with them.  I suggest replacing that case statement with 'if [
  "$1" = configure" ]; then ...; fi'.
