Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I need to use dir_to_symlink and see in 'man dpkg-maintscript-helper':
"[...] we can call the program only if we know that the required
command is supported by the currently installed dpkg:
if dpkg-maintscript-helper supports command; then
dpkg-maintscript-helper command ...
fi
"
On my computer dpkg-maintscript-helper supports always returns 1:
snoopy:~$ dpkg-maintscript-helper supports dir_to_symlink; echo $?
dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME
missing
dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE
