[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#358364: postrm not idempotent

[Frank Lichtenheld]

Package: xml-core
Version: 0.09
Severity: serious

If your try to run the postrm twice (which it is required to handle
correctly by policy 6.2) you get the following error:

Removing xml-core ...
Purging configuration files for xml-core ...
rmdir: xml-core: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing xml-core (--purge):
 subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1

Also the "cd -" afterwards is very fragile since you can't really
depend on this directory to exist. The postrm should probably not fail
if it doesn't.

Gruesse,
	Frank Lichtenheld
