The problem is that my /usr/share/doc/httrack/html was not a link but a
directory (now I have create the link).
Hummm,
$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/httrack/html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-11-16 14:16 /usr/share/doc/httrack/html
-> ../../httrack/html
I'm thinking of an old upgrade bug from 3.40 to the current version -
see <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=367219>
To summarize, /usr/share/doc/httrack/html *was* a directory, and is now
a symbolic link, and was moved from a package (webhttrack) to another
one (httrack-doc).
This issue should have been fixed, except in rare upgrade cases (if I am
not mistaken when executing a certain upgrade step from an intermediate
release), which seems totally unsolvable even after *hours* of
unthinkable tries and hacks (dpkg seems not to be able to handle the
directory/symlink removal in such case).
Can you uninstall+reinstall httrack-doc and webhttrack and wheck if the
problem is fixed ?
