gufw upgrade fails with cannot create directory `/etc/gufw': File exists

[digger vermont]

Upgrading gufw tries to create the directory /etc/gufw and fails. Here is the output.

Setting up gufw (10.04.1-0ubuntu1) ...
mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/gufw': File exists
dpkg: error processing gufw (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gufw
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I recently did a dist-upgrade from Karmic. Some info:
~$ uname -a

Hi! You'll find this bug fixed in Lucid ;)
Thanks very much for your time!

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! ;)
Could you confirm that in the last version of Lucid is fixed (Gufw version = 10.04.3)?
Thanks!

Sorry but I accidentally did a reinstall of gufw so there's no way for
me to tell.

Well, could you do this, please?
sudo apt-get purge gufw
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gufw
Thanks!

I believe thats what I had already done, but I just did it again and it
installed fine.

I'm not sure how this will test the bug since it occurred when I did a
dist upgrade from karma. It seems like it was just a problem of the
install script trying to create the directory /etc/gufw and failing when
it preexisted, rather than checking to see if existed and skipping that
step.

Thanks digger for the test! ;)
If anybody have problems with the 10.04.3, please, comment here :)

It installed fine for me as well... :)
