This problem does not let me test if a package I maintain can properly build or
not (the problem happens either in my system or in pbuilder).

The problem is in:

rmdir: failed to remove `/etc/OGRE': No such file or directory

The error I think should be fixed in libogre-VERSION.preinst at least there is
a bizarre problem in my debian installation.

I'd be glad if you could fix this.

Best Regards,
