+Subject: base-files: default_postinst: propagate the real postinst return code
+
+Using the postinst script for sanity checks and expecting opkg to fail
+if the postinst didn't return 0 was possible in Barrier Breaker, propagate
+the real postinst return code through default_postinst to restore this
+behaviour.
