If that was truth, IMHO, the seriousness for this issue would be "grave", as per the definition: "makes the package in question unusable by most or all users". Indeed, how could we use the package if we can't even install it? > By the way, I had both packages installed without problems. > The problem became when upgrading apt-net-smtp from version > 1.3.1-1 (lenny) to 1.4.2-1 (squeeze) with php-pear version > 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny9 installed. > > I ignore if the debian policy for php packages tells how > to handle the /usr/share/php/doc directory, but probably it should. The Debian policy is pretty clear that all documentations of packages should go in /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE. php-* packages don't differ from others. Now, I can see that *MANY* pear packages could have an issues, because CDBS create symlinks in /usr/share/php/doc/$PACKAGE, but read further... What I don't understand, is that I do have php-pear and php-net-smtp on my system, and it isn't creating any conflict at all. php-net-smtp on Lenny doesn't even carry a folder in /usr/share/php/doc. I've tried to apt-get --reinstall install both php-pear and php-net-smtp, and it worked well. That leads me to believe that the issue is when upgrading from php-pear AND php-net-smtp in Lenny (but that's only a wild guess) to Squeeze. Can you explain a bit more how you had the issue? I'd be happy to fix it, but currently, I couldn't reproduce it.
