Package: libglib2.0-dev
Version: 2.27.90-2
Severity: serious
Upgrading libglib2.0-dev (and libglib2.0-data) from 2.27.5-1 → 2.27.90-2
fails:
Preparing to replace libglib2.0-dev 2.27.5-1 (using

rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/doc/libglib2.0-dev': Is a directory
dpkg: error processing

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libglib2.0-dev_2.27.90-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I assume this is because of:
"* Stop symlinking /usr/share/doc/$pkg directories."

As it turns out, this bug only happened, because I had first upgraded to
2.27.90-1, then downgraded again to 2.27.5-1 (due to crashes in gnome-panel) and
then upgraded to 2.27.90-2.
As 2.27.90-1 had replaced the symlinks, the downgrade did not reverse that
transition, so the upgrade failed.
Downgrades are not supported, so I'm closing this bug.
