Hmmmm. Looking at the contents of a freshly-downloaded cdrecord deb, it does appear to ship a symlink. However, on my system, I have: $ ls -ld /usr/share/doc/cdrecord drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-09-07 21:01 /usr/share/doc/cdrecord The same appears to hold true for the doc directories in the couple of other packages I filed bugs on. I have not done anything unusual here. I had the non-dummy packages installed at one point, and later upgraded to the dummy packages. Have I perhaps run afoul of some bug concerning the replacement of a directory with a symlink? - Josh Triplett
