Package: gcc-4.1-doc-non-dfsg Version: 4.1.1-nf1 Severity: serious In previous versions of gcc-4.1-doc (up to 4.1.1-10), /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.1-doc was a symlink to gcc-4.1-base. Because dpkg follows the symlink when upgrading the package, your files end up in /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.1-base, overwriting the files there (dpkg does not detect that clash, unfortunately).
To resolve this issue, I suggest you create a prescript which tests if usr/share/doc/gcc-4.1-doc is a symlink and, if this is the case, removes it. Note that you must take care to delete spurious files from previous versions of the gcc-4.1-doc package in usr/share/doc/gcc-4.1-base as well. Since the other packages built from the same source probably have the same problem :-(, I've assigned this bug to the source package. Good luck in resolving this mess and thanks for packaging the GCC documentation. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
