Originally created by @danielmoncada on GitHub (May 3, 2018).

When updating an existing deb package on Ubuntu 16.04 server LTS, the following error is shown:

(Reading database ... 58911 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack test.0.0.1.linux-x64.deb ...
Unpacking test (0.0.1) over (0.0.1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/test.postrm: 2: /var/lib/dpkg/info/test.postrm: /usr/bin/rm: not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/test.postrm: 3: /var/lib/dpkg/info/test.postrm: /usr/bin/rm: not found

Looks like it might be a PATH issue? Note that rm is indeed available in /usr/bin/rm.

Update: Appears this happens only when RemoveOnUninstall is set.

That's odd... The call to /usr/bin/rm is added in DebPackageCreator.cs, can you try using /bin/rm instead of /usr/bin/rm?

The call to `/usr/bin/rm` is added in [DebPackageCreator.cs](https://github.com/qmfrederik/dotnet-packaging/blob/9e56efbf325dacf9e83d9fbfe5b27d31c3928dca/Packaging.Targets/Deb/DebPackageCreator.cs#L90), can you try using `/bin/rm` instead of `/usr/bin/rm`?

@qmfrederik how can I allow the deb creator to use /bin/rm instead?

Note that "rm" works perfectly outside of the Deb package.

I had the same problem : /usr/bin/rm exists on CentOS but not on Ubuntu. Is it possible to replace the command with /bin/rm or maybe just rm in a future release?
