This probably ought to be assigned to dhelp; I still don't see what's going on, since dhelp has /var/lib/dhelp/tmp in data.tar.gz and it ought to get the sucker created on install. OTOH, something fishy is going on, since dhelp.postinst contains # create /var/lib/dhelp if necessary if [ ! -d /var/lib/dhelp ]; then mkdir /var/lib/dhelp fi which is bloody odd - we have /var/lib/dhelp in data.tar.gz as well, so this code should never trigger... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
