Bug#501958: sabre: postinst fails if there's preexisting stat-override

[Joseph Rawson]

Package: sabre
Version: 0.2.4b-25
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The postinst script will fail if there's already an existing stat-override.  
Since the if statement checks to see if there is an existing stat-override, 
when it's true, it should use --force to make the new override.  The patch I 
made seems to work just fine.  I hope it works for you too.
