Public bug reported:

Upgrading on hardy today for firefox-2 did not work (I'm sure I'm not
the only one reporting this, but the LaunchPad search did not show up
anything relevant... sorry of possibly duplication)

Upgrade fails because postinstall points to wrong location of a
restartrequired script:

$ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
