Hi Andreas, > > Read these two paragraphs from the original report! This is exactly your > problem!
I am not arguing against you. Just checking my steps. The manpage enforces the bug. I did not read it with full attention: CAVEAT: If a previous version of the package was built without this option and is now built with it (or vice-versa), it requires a "dir to symlink" (or "symlink to dir") migration. Since debhelper has no knowledge of previous versions, you have to enable this migration itself. > > >> 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.
