This fix is wrong. The code block implemented as a fix was put after an exit 0, and will never be executed.

Here is a patch to correct the fix.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Thanks Luis, this patch looks fine.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Note that this will actually slow down the update so to keep the semantic of the comment (to only run it on a fresh install of -s-c) you may need to change:
- if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
+ if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ -z "$2" ]; then
