Bug#292179: java-package: dpkg fails to install created package

[Rogério Brito]

Package: java-package
Version: 0.19
Severity: normal

I just grabbed the new java-package 0.19 from incoming.debian.org and tried
to use it, excited by the descriptions of the changelogs.

Unfortunately, the generated package does not install here due:

I don't know if this bug should have severity serious or not, but it sure
ain't pleasing. :-(

I'll dig more information in the postinst script and, if relevant, I'll
forward that to this bug.



Thank you very much for your work, Rogério.
