Creates corrupt .INSTALL script

[latekvo]

I will follow up on this later but Im running late today and just wanted to report as much as i remember for today. When i used debtap on Cisco packet tracer 8.2.1-1 debian package, the install script that had been generated was missing line 20 causing pacman to crash during the install with this error:

/tmp/alpm_qPMsyx/.INSTALL: line 20: syntax error near unexpected token `else'
/tmp/alpm_qPMsyx/.INSTALL: line 20: `       else'
/usr/bin/bash: line 1: pre_upgrade: command not found
error: command failed to execute correctly

context:

pre_install() {
    STATE=1 
    while [ "$STATE" != 0 -a "$STATE" != 4 ]; do
        case "$STATE" in
        1)
        ;;
        2)
        ;;
        3)
            if [ "$RET" = "false" ]; then
                exit 1
            fi
        ;;
        esac
            # here is the missing IF statement
            STATE=$(($STATE + 1))
        else
            STATE=$(($STATE - 1))
        fi
    done
    exit 0
}

I later determined the missing statement has to be

        if [ "$STATE" -eq 3 ]; then

Please ask me for any missing details.

Hello I wanted to follow up, during the install, there was one more error in the .INSTALL script, but it didn't prevent packettracer from installing.

I confirm that after making the changes i made to the .INSTALL script, the program installs and runs as expected.
