Bug#601859: wesnoth-1.9: Bad error handling in postinst script

[PJ Weisberg]

Package: wesnoth-1.9
Version: 1:1.9.1-1
Severity: normal

Yes, I was very suspicious when I opened up the postinst script to try to
figure out why it failed.  It says "if [ $? != 0 ]; then" in a couple of
places, but $? can NEVER be != to 0, because the 'set -e' at the top would
cause the script to die immediately if that happened.
