[Bug 83728] Re: cannot purge firestarter on Edgy

[mlind]

I haven't been able to create the debdiff yet, but I'll try to do it on weekend.

I guess the problem is that firestarter.postrm sets -e for sh shell,
which means that the script will bail out if something returns with
value 1. This happens if /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks contains only one line
(hook that firestarter installed there) and postrm starts grepping with
-v option.

Ugly fix would be to remove "set -e" from debian/postrm script. Better
way would probably be to use alternative method to remove firestarter
hook from /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks. Using sed maybe (sed -i
"/firestarter/d" /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks).
