Package: libsvn-dev,libsvn-java,libsvn-ruby1.8
Version: 1.7.5-1
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

A test with piuparts revealed that your package misses the copyright
file after an upgrade from squeeze to wheezy, which is a violation of
Policy 12.5 :
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile

After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$package/ is just an empty directory.

Additional info may be available here:
http://wiki.debian.org/MissingCopyrightFile

There is something bad going on with the symlink to directory conversion
that is needed if the xmame-common or xmess-common package was
installed.

>From the attached logfile (scroll to the bottom):

  MISSING COPYRIGHT FILE: /usr/share/doc/libsvn-dev/copyright
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Oct  3 18:58 /usr/share/doc/libsvn-dev
  total 0
  drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   40 Oct  3 18:58 .
  drwxr-xr-x 132 root root 2760 Oct  3 18:58 ..

Please check the other packages built from src:subversion, too, as
piuparts might have skipped checking them if dependencies have failed.


cheers,

Andreas
