Fails when remove this package with aptitude or apt-get or dpkg, on post uninstallation.

[Tomeu Capó]

Hi.

I need upgrade firebird2.1-server-common to firebird2.5-server-common and have any configured database. But, first stop database server (firebird2.1) and after do remove package using aptitude, and do this:

(S'està llegint la base de dades… hi ha 92337 fitxers i directoris instaŀlats actualment.)
S'està desinstaŀlant firebird2.1-server-common…

rmdir: l’opció «--ignore-if-not-empty» no és reconeguda

Proveu «rmdir --help» per a obtenir més informació.
dpkg: s'ha produït un error en processar firebird2.1-server-common (--remove):
 el subprocés s'ha instaŀlat el script post-removal retornà el codi d'eixida d'error 1

dpkg, returning 1 exit code, and say the post script of uninstallation process, crash for bad parameters in rmdir. Edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/firebird2.1-server-common.postrm and change at line 31:

rmdir -p --ignore-if-not-empty $RUN

for:

rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty $RUN

Because -p and --ignore-if-not-empty doesn't recognized by rmdir command. I changed this and works fine.
