Hi, a test with piuparts revealed that your package misses the copyright file after an upgrade, which is a violation of Policy 12.5: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/ is just an empty directory. This was observed on the following upgrade paths: stretch -> sid >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 1m1.8s DEBUG: Starting command: ['adequate', '--root', '/tmp/piupartss/tmp1lLvlN', 'gdc-mips-linux-gnu'] 1m2.0s DUMP: gdc-mips-linux-gnu: missing-copyright-file /usr/share/doc/gdc-mips-linux-gnu/copyright 1m2.0s DEBUG: Command ok: ['adequate', '--root', '/tmp/piupartss/tmp1lLvlN', 'gdc-mips-linux-gnu'] MISSING COPYRIGHT FILE: /usr/share/doc/gdc-mips-linux-gnu/copyright # ls -lad /usr/share/doc/gdc-mips-linux-gnu drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Apr 9 05:26 /usr/share/doc/gdc-mips-linux-gnu # ls -la /usr/share/doc/gdc-mips-linux-gnu/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Apr 9 05:26 . drwxr-xr-x 92 root root 2460 Apr 9 05:26 .. Additional info may be available here: https://wiki.debian.org/MissingCopyrightFile Note that dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks and vice versa, you need the maintainer scripts to do this. See in particular the end of point 4 in https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase It is recommended to use the dpkg-maintscript-helper commands 'dir_to_symlink' and 'symlink_to_dir' (available since dpkg 1.17.14) to perform the conversion, ideally using d/$PACKAGE.maintscript. Do not forget to add 'Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends}' in d/control. See dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) and dh_installdeb(1) for details. The previous versions (up to 6.3.0-2) shipped regular files (and the messed up symlink): drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2017-03-16 15:08 ./usr/share/doc/gdc-mips-linux-gnu/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 6957 2016-08-03 13:58 ./usr/share/doc/gdc-mips-linux-gnu/README.Debian -rw-r--r-- root/root 12987 2017-03-16 15:08 ./usr/share/doc/gdc-mips-linux-gnu/changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 2207 2013-06-12 23:03 ./usr/share/doc/gdc-mips-linux-gnu/copyright lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2017-03-16 15:08 ./usr/share/doc/gdc-mips-linux-gnu/cpp-mips-linux-gnu -> cpp-mips-linux-gnu cheers, Andreas
