[Bug 213827] Re: typo in prerm file breaks failed-upgrade processing

[xtknight]

I can't reproduce the problem and I'm not sure why Tiziano's system is
falling through to "cho" or "exit 1".

                if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" ">>" 9.0.48.0.0ubuntu4 &&
                   dpkg --compare-versions "$2" "<<" 9.0.48.0.0ubuntu8

I think that happens if it detects a Flash between 9.0.48.0.0ubuntu4 and
9.0.48.0.0ubuntu8 on his system, but I don't know why he would have had
this version if he had Hardy.  His problem should not happen on the
release disc or the latest Hardy.

I don't believe the typo would fix the problem either, because "exit 1"
would still yield a nonzero error code.

Anyway, he got an exec-format error and this would not be caused by
"cho" as far as I can tell.  Tiziano, I think that your /bin/sh may be
broken.  I'm not sure why this would be, but if removing it from status
doesn't fix your problem, and you still can't install other packages,
then something else is probably messed up with your system.
