Bug#1071105: geki3: fails to install: geki3.postinst: 24: cannot create /var/games/geki3.scores: Directory nonexistent

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: geki3
Version: 1.0.3-11
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Setting up geki3 (1.0.3-11) ...
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/geki3.postinst: 24: cannot create /var/games/geki3.scores: Directory nonexistent
  dpkg: error processing package geki3 (--configure):
   installed geki3 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.38-11) ...
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   geki3
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


if you ship /var/games/ in the package, dpkg will take care of creating
and removing the directory.


cheers,

Andreas
