Package: amule
Version: 2.1.3-1
Severity: minor

In this package /usr/share/man/man1/ed2k.xmule.1.gz is a symlink
that points to a file which doesn't exist:

$ ls -la /usr/share/man/man1/ed2k.xmule.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2005-02-15 22:01 /usr/share/man/man1/ed2k.xmule.1.gz 
-> ed2k.wrapper.1.gz

ed2k.wrapper.1.gz is not present in my system

Actually, the binaries 'ed2k.xmule' and 'ed2k.wrapper' are not present 
in my system.

It seems that the package diverts these files:

$ LC_ALL=C dpkg -S /usr/share/man/man1/ed2k.xmule.1.gz
diversion by amule from: /usr/share/man/man1/ed2k.1.gz
diversion by amule to: /usr/share/man/man1/ed2k.xmule.1.gz

These are only needed if amule-utils is installed (which provides those
files). I see no reason why 'amule' should divert them since they are
provided in amule-utils.

It seems that even though the divert was removed from amule's scripts
they have not been removed (when the divert was removed in 2.1.2-3) and
somebody that does not install amule-utils (like myself) will end up
with broken symlinks.

I guess that the fix would be to remove all the diversions if upgrading
to a given version, and there's any diversion in Dpkg's database
associated with amule.

Regards

Javier
