According to the log it does not. Looking at the packages in lenny, squeeze, wheezy, jessie & stretch I see that in the lenny version /usr/share/doc/hdf4-tools was a symlink to /usr/share/doc/libhdf4g, which was converted to a directory in the squeeze version: lenny: $ ls -l lenny/hdf4-tools_4.1r4-22_amd64/usr/share/doc/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 bas bas 8 Jun 22 2008 hdf4-tools -> libhdf4g squeeze: $ ls -l squeeze/hdf4-tools_4.2r4-11_amd64/usr/share/doc/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 bas bas 4096 Sep 13 2010 hdf4-tools The squeeze version no longer had the libhdf4g package, only the libhdf4g-dev transitional package. Since we cannot fix the squeeze version of the package, adding the following hdf4-tools.maintscript should fix the upgrade in the stretch package: symlink_to_dir /usr/share/doc/hdf4-tools libhdf4g 4.2.12-3~ Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1
