Bug Description
dpkg failed upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid because of the tdsodbc package. It gave the following error message:
Setting up tdsodbc (0.82-3) ...
rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/odbc': No such file or directory
I was able to fix this by creating that directory and then re-running "apt-get dist-upgrade", which just re-configured that package and everything was fine.
This error occurs because of this line in the postinst:
rmdir --ignore-
I suggest that be changed to:
[ -d /var/lib/odbc ] && rmdir --ignore-
