Thanks for the reply; my question was actually how to "just fix the
postinst". I managed to do it though and I'm posting it here for anyone
else who might be interested:
mkdir tmp
cp /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_6.8.2.dfsg.1-6.deb tmp/
cd tmp
dpkg -e xlibs_6.8.2.dfsg.1-6.deb # extract control files
dpkg -x xlibs_6.8.2.dfsg.1-6.deb # extract package files
cd DEBIAN
vi postinst
# fix the error
cd ../..
dpkg -b tmp xlibs_6.8.2.dfsg.1-6.deb
dpkg -i xlibs_6.8.2.dfsg.1-6.deb
HTH,
Andrej
