Bug#561856: sivp: sipv 0.4.3-3 postinst fails

[tony mancill]

Package: sivp
Version: 0.4.3-3
Severity: important

sivp fails to configure on my system:

$ sudo dpkg --configure sivp
Setting up sivp (0.4.3-3) ...
dpkg: error processing sivp (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 sivp


The postinst is failing because the grep fo scilab.star is returning non-zero 
(and set -e is used).

$ sudo sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/sivp.postinst configure
+ set -e
+ dpkg -L scilab
+ grep scilab.star
+ SCIDIR=

$ echo $?
1


When I run dpkg -L scilab, I don't see a file named scilab.star.  Is this
postinst code only applicable when upgrading from an older version?

Thank you,
Tony
