Package: rlpr
Version: 2.05-2
Severity: important
rlpr's new preinst script contains the line
[ -L /usr/doc/rlpr ] && rm -f /usr/doc/rlpr
which causes the script to abort when there isn't already such a
symlink (because it's running in "-e" mode, per Policy 6.1). To avoid
this problem, please use an actual if statement (à la glibc-doc's
postinst):
if [ -L /usr/doc/rlpr ]; then
rm -f /usr/doc/rlpr
fi
(In general, you should use && in maintainer scripts and makefile
commands only if you want the first command's failure to be an actual
error; this is not such a case.)
Thanks!
