Package: cltl Version: 1.0.26 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
[Note: this bug is slightly different from the other bugs where the copyright file is missing after an upgrade, but I didn't have time to analyze and test it further, so you are getting a maybe not entirely fitting template ...] Hi, a test with piuparts revealed that your package misses the copyright file after an upgrade, 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: lenny -> squeeze -> wheezy Both lenny -> squeeze squeeze -> wheezy work fine >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 1m40.4s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot: debsums: missing file /usr/share/doc/cltl/copyright (from cltl package) debsums: missing file /usr/share/doc/cltl/README.Debian (from cltl package) debsums: missing file /usr/share/doc/cltl/changelog.gz (from cltl package) 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. See in particular the end of point 4 in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase For switching from a directory to a symlink 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 symlink to a directory, the *preinst* script should do something like this: DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/@@PACKAGE@@ if [ -L $DOCDIR ] ; then rm $DOCDIR fi cheers, Andreas
