Opening a cdbs task and assigning to pitti as discussed on irc.
The problem here is that the following script which is run by cdbs is
causing a conflict with the pkgstriptranslations script:
# symlink identical Gnome help files within packages
if [ -z "$CDBS_NO_GNOME_HELP_SYMLINKING" ] && [ -d
debian/ubuntu-docs/usr/share/gnome/help ]; then \
cd debian/ubuntu-docs && LC_ALL=C fdupes -r1nq usr/share/gnome/help
| while read s; do \
set -- $(echo $s | tr ' ' '\n' | sort); \
f=$1; shift; \
for d; do \
echo "symlinking duplicate Gnome help file $d to $f"; \
rm $d; ln -s /$f $d; \
done; \
done; \
fi
The conflict is because that script symlinks various identical xml files
to one base xml file, like this:
symlinking duplicate Gnome help file

usr/share/gnome/help/windows/am/migratingdata.xml

Then pkgstriptranslations moves the symlink target into a separate
package, which is not installed for every user.
I will work around this in ubuntu-docs and gnome-user-docs by setting
CDBS_NO_GNOME_HELP_SYMLINKING=1 but this seems likely to affect all
Gnome packages which ship documentation in /usr/share/gnome/help and
which use cdbs. Probably the number of files affected in those packages
is small, I don't know.
