[oe] postinst jobs and "exit 1"

[Martin Dietze]

Hi,

 lots of packages start their postinst jobs like this:

| test -z "$D" || exit 1

When creating firmware images using recent OE recipes (nylon
distro and mtx-2 hardware), this seems to cause problems,
either bitbake complains about "exit 1" in the log file when
doing the rootfs or lots of postinst jobs are not run after
installing the image. 

Is the above test deprecated and should be replaced by
something not exit'ing at all? If yes, who is going to adapt
all the existing packages still doing this?

Cheers,

Martin
