To me it looks like dpkg has forgotten about all other files in /usr/share/doc! Normally it wouldn't try to remove that directory. This certainly isn't normal, but I'm not sure where to start diagnosing it from a distance. I wonder if /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list are intact. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
