[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Bug#347797: linux-wlan-ng: postinst dependency on /etc/init.d/pcmcia prevents install

[gp mitchell]

Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.3-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

*** Please type your report below this line *** 

The postinst script linux-wlan-ng.postinst fails with exit code 5 if
/etc/init.d/pcmcia exists but package pcmcia-cs is not installed.  I had
previously installed pcmciautils and had removed, but not purged,
pcmcia-cs.  Purging pcmcia-cs enabled linux-wlan-ng to install.  

A simple fix is for linux-wlan-ng.postinst to check for the
presence of pcmciautils and run that instead.

Here is a patch:
