Hi Pavel,

Is your /tmp full? I think it's only 1 megabyte by default.

Thank you both, Francisco and Paul,

I've tried and still no success. See for yourself in the attachment.

Look at the scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ such as shortcutd.postinst
and other shortcutd.* files, maybe they will give a clue about what it
is trying or what's going on. Or maybe you can even edit them. (I've
never tried it)

Thank you all very much.
I edited the postinstall and preremove scripts and everything has started to work.
I tried to enclose the cp and rm commands in an if-condition testing whether the file /tmp/shortcutd exists – in the postinstall script. There was still an error by running that condition so I tried to add an 'exit 0' command before it and the upgrade script silently finished with success. I then removed the exit statement but the erroneous condition didn't execute any more.
Similarly with the preremove script.
Then I reinstalled the shortcutd package and the new install ran without problems.
