Followup-For: Bug #691439 Hi,
I'm appending the new template for these missing-copyright bugs, it has some suggestions how to fix the maintainer scripts. Andreas Hi, a test with piuparts revealed that your package misses the copyright file after an upgrade from squeeze to wheezy, which is a violation of Policy 12.5: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/ is just an empty directory. This was observed on the following upgrade paths: >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Additional info may be available here: http://wiki.debian.org/MissingCopyrightFile Note that dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks and vice versa, you need the maintainer scripts to do this. For switching from a directory to a link the postinst script should do something like this: DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/@@PACKAGE@@ DOCLINK=@@OTHERPACKAGE@@ if [ -d $DOCDIR ] && [ ! -L $DOCDIR ] ; then rmdir $DOCDIR ln -s $DOCLINK $DOCDIR fi For switching from a link to a directory, the preinst script should do something like this: DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/@@PACKAGE@@ if [ -L $DOCDIR ] ; then rm $DOCDIR fi cheers, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
