Package: libpango1.0-0
Version: 1.28.3-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Fails to install
Hi,
upgrading libpango1.0-0 from 1.28.3-1+squeeze2 (Squeeze) to 1.28.3-4
(experimental) fails:
$ sudo apt-get install libpango1.0-0=1.28.3-4
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
libxcb-render-util0 libpango1.0-common
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp ttf-arphic-gkai00mp ttf-arphic-bkai00mp
The following packages will be upgraded:

Preparing to replace libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-1+squeeze2 (using
.../libpango1.0-0_1.28.3-4_i386.deb) ...
rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/doc/libpango1.0-0': Is a directory
dpkg: error processing

Looking at the pre-installation script reveals this:
$ cat libpango1.0-0_1.28.3-4_amd64/DEBIAN/preinst
#!/bin/sh
set -e
if [ "$1" = "upgrade" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 1.28.3-4;
then
rm -f /usr/share/doc/libpango1.0-0
fi
$
It seems that rm is missing the -r option. After manually removing the
directory everything works fine:
$ sudo rmdir /usr/share/doc/libpango1.0-0
$
