Well that's strange... No errors... I also tried installing each version on top of the last in a clean sid chroot. Maybe the bug is only triggered when 0~git20150512-1 was built using particular (old) versions of debhelper and/or when the upgrade to 0~git20161123-1 was performed using particular versions of dpkg? If anyone can provide a copy of (or link to) the old yasnippet-snippets_0~git20150512-1_all.deb I would be very appreciative! Cheers, Nicholas
