That fixes the problem. There are no warnings on install, and the files are there. Your upgrade test used the same versions I had: Preparing to replace r-doc-html 2.3.0-1 (using .../r-doc-html_2.3.1-1_all.deb) ... Here are some clues about the state of things while they were messed up: # ls -l /usr/share/doc/r-doc-html/ total 29 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14976 Jun 1 04:19 changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12177 Jun 1 04:19 copyright lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 17 2005 manual -> ../../../lib/R/doc/manual # ls -l /usr/share/doc/r-doc-html/manual lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 17 2005 /usr/share/doc/r-doc-html/manual -> ../../../lib/R/doc/manual # ls -l /usr/share/doc/r-doc-html/manual/ total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 32 Jul 5 12:19 R-FAQ.html -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-FAQ.html lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Jul 5 12:19 R-admin.html -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-admin.html lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Jul 5 12:19 R-data.html -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-data.html lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Jul 5 12:19 R-exts.html -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-exts.html lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Jul 5 12:19 R-intro.html -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-intro.html lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Jul 5 12:19 R-lang.html -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-lang.html After the remove/install sequence it's very similar, except manual is a real directory, not a symlink. Maybe some earlier version of R set it up as a symlink, and that's been preserved through upgrades until now? Ross -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
