Hi Daniel,
a few more thing I noticed when trying to use the built package as well
as when I tried to rebuild it again:
The status line says "[1] 18:34 abe (+i) * type /help for help", but
when I do "/help", it just says "*** HELP_PATH error: No such file or
directory". This is a regression as this works fine with
20060725-1+b1.
Despite I first suspected the following change to be the culprit, I'm
now sure this issue is not related to this changelog entry:
> > * Update ircii.install file.
> > + Now the documentation install from docs file
A debdiff on the two .deb files shows:
→ debdiff ../ircii_20060725-1+b1_amd64.deb ../ircii_20151120-1_amd64.deb
[The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have
different names, permissions or owners.]

/usr/share/ircII/help/rules only seem to be some netiquette stuff, so
it's removal doesn't seem to be related either. So it's likely that a
new file has been added upstream, but not installed into the package.
stracing the issue showed that ircII looked for its help files at
/usr/share/irc/help/, no more at /usr/share/ircII/help/.
Looking at the diff between old and new debian/rules, I noticed that
IRCLIB was passed as environment variable in the past, but now is just
a make variable. This can be fixed by using
export IRCLIB=/usr/share/ircII/
instead of just
IRCLIB=/usr/share/ircII/
Another issue showed up when trying to build it twice in a row:
dpkg-source: error: cannot represent change to ircII: binary file contents
changed
Seems as if ircII is not properly cleaned up. I suggest adding it to
debian/clean.
Regards, Axel
