papercut init script syntax error prevents package from being installed

[Michael Ryan]

Binary package hint: papercut

I'm running on 8.04 hardy-lts, which was recently upgraded in place from 6.06 dapper-lts.

The papercut 0.9.13-5 package's init.d script has an error that prevents it from being installed. After the start/stop/restart command is executed, it attempts to check the return value by using a bash-like syntax. Since the script is run from /bin/sh, bash emulates typical bourne shell behaviour and runs the expression [ $? == 0 ] through the [ program, which doesn't like ==. The fix is to change the == to -eq. The postinst script tries to run the init script, which fails and thus causes the install to fail.

I've attached a patch that will fix the script itself, although it needs to be fixed upstream for the package to install correctly.
