Package: r-cran-rmarkdown Version: 1.16+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Hi,
While trying to reproduce a bug in another package (r-cran-dt, I will submit it after this one), I notice an error while pandoc is invoked: [...] /usr/bin/pandoc +RTS -K512m -RTS small_test.utf8.md --to html4 --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+tex_math_single_backslash+smart --output small_test.html --email-obfuscation none --self-contained --standalone --section-divs --template /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/default.html --highlight-style tango --css style.css --variable 'theme:cerulean' --include-in-header /tmp/Rtmpo7H2Mq/rmarkdown-str53cc33e4db8.html --mathjax --variable 'mathjax-url:https://mathjax.rstudio.com/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML' --lua-filter /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/lua/pagebreak.lua --lua-filter /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/lua/latex-div.lua pandoc: /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/css/../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) Erreur : pandoc document conversion failed with error 1 Exécution arrêtée Looking with apt-file, I see that /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/css/../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot was provided by r-cran-rmarkdown. Looking at the git history of r-cran-rmarkdown, I see that in 7bd53b7c34 these files where removed and replaced by a symlink. However, for file in fonts/ subdir, this is the whole subdir that is symlinked and not the files themselves. dpkg do not correctly handle dir to symlink when upgrading (due to the fact that the sysadmin can decide to replace dir by symlinks to manage its disks if I remember). So support in preinst/postinst is required. And indeed, on my machine, I can see that /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/fonts is still a (empty) real directory : $ ls -ld /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/fonts drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 juil. 9 15:20 /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/fonts I fix the bug by removing the directory and reinstalling the package : $ sudo rmdir /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/fonts $ sudo apt install --reinstall r-cran-rmarkdown [...] Dépaquetage de r-cran-rmarkdown (1.16+dfsg-1) sur (1.16+dfsg-1) ... [...] $ ls -ld /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/fonts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 oct. 7 15:00 /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/fonts -> ../../../../../../../share/javascript/bootstrap/fonts So, for people upgrading the package, you will have to fix this dir to symlink conversion in a pre/post-inst script.
