Right. I have changed that back to arch:any in 2.6.1-15, since dh_installdoc complains about it too. >> At this point we still have these files: >> >> # dpkg -S $(find /usr/share/doc/cups-pdf) > […] > > Yes, if dpkg-maintscript-helper cannot do its job it will abort. > >> and the preinst looks like this: >> >> #!/bin/sh >> set -e >> # Automatically added by dh_installdeb >> dpkg-maintscript-helper dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/cups-pdf >> /usr/share/doc/printer-driver-cups-pdf -- "$@" >> # End automatically added section > > This needs to be passed the correct arch-qualified package name (either > :<arch> or :all) for the previous package.
