Bug Description
Binary package hint: javascript-common
Failed to upgrade the javascript-common8 package.
This error has been encountered while upgrading ubuntu distribution 11.04.
This is the faulty bit in the postinst:
if [ ! -e /etc/lighttpd/
then
ln -s /etc/javascript
restart=
fi
Probably it is meant to check if the symlink _target_ already exists and this is a typo? Will let the Debian maintainer decide.

A quick workaround is to 'sudo rm /etc/lighttpd/ conf-enabled/ 90-javascript- alias.conf && sudo apt-get -f install'
