[pkg-firebird-general] Bug#667067: firebird2.5-server-common: fails to remove: rmdir: failed to remove directory `/var/run': Not a directory

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: firebird2.5-server-common
Version: 2.5.2~svn+54226.ds4-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to remove.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Removing firebird2.5-server-common ...
  rmdir: failed to remove directory `/var/run': Not a directory
  dpkg: error processing firebird2.5-server-common (--remove):
   subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1


The postrm calls
  rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty -p $RUN
which does not work as expected if /var/run is a symlink to /run.

I suggest to just drop the -p option (and eventually append
  $(dirname $RUN) instead).

cheers,

Andreas
