Hi guys,
I am unable to uninstall x2gotrinitybindings.
Its prerm script contains
case "$1" in configure) rm -f /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock mv /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock.trinity /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock ;;

which always breaks with the catch-all condition as uninstalling it

And I believe postinst contains similar code.
Please fix this. And I think we need some kind of check that in
future, such code doesn't end up in the stable repository (maybe a
test box that does apt-get install --reinstall <packagename> and
checks for errors/warnings in the output before a package goes into
stable?).
x2gotrinitybindings does not have a release and it is indeed undeveloped.
Put an ,,exit 0'' at the top of that postrm script. That should help
you get rid of the script.
Do you need the trinity bindings? Alex is actually preparing some
universal tool for desktop integration, but this is probably a raw
egg...
