Package: debian-reference Version: 2.109 Severity: normal
Hey. Something looks odd with the package’s files registration in Debian. On upgrade from 2.108 to 2.109 I got: Unpacking debian-reference-common (2.109) over (2.108) ... dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/usr/share/debian-reference/images': Directory not empty Preparing to unpack .../01-debian-reference-en_2.109_all.deb ... Unpacking debian-reference-en (2.109) over (2.108) ... dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/usr/share/debian-reference': Directory not empty And indeed, none of these files seem to belong

case, is a symlink: $ ls -al /usr/share/doc/debian-reference-common/docs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 19 2013 /usr/share/doc/debian-reference-common/docs -> ../../debian-reference I'd blinly presume, that one this was indeed a symlink, but no longer is and when the switch was made, no proper cleanup took place leaving now all people that upgraded behind with that situation? Any ideas what's going on here and how to clean up?
