i am trying to move a file via postinst script and i keep getting this error when i try to install the deb file.

Code:

 subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
: command not foundblue-sky.postinst: line 2: 
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127

my postinst script:

Code:

#! /bin/sh -e

mv -f /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions-backedup.ini
mv -f /usr/share/themes/Blue-sky/transitions/* /usr/share/hildon-desktop/


THEMEDIR='/usr/share/themes/Blue-sky'

if [ ! -d $THEMEDIR ]; then

  exit 0

fi


hildon-theme-cacher $THEMEDIR



exit 0

I think this line is the problem..
try:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
set -e

Check your prerm script
subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
It's trying to execute foundblue-sky.postinst for some reason
: command not foundblue-sky.postinst: line 2:

my prerm script:

Code:

#! /bin/sh



rm -rf /usr/share/themes/Blue-sky/gtk-2.0/*.cache

rm -rf /usr/share/icons/blue-sky-icons

rm -rf /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini

mv /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions-backedup.ini /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini



if [ "`readlink /etc/hildon/theme`" = /usr/share/themes/Blue-sky ]; then

   if [ -x /usr/bin/personalisation ]; then

	   /usr/bin/personalisation /usr/share/themes/default

   fi
