Thanks a lot. I had a little time to make more tests. Strangely, the package is not installable twice in a row. It think that it will makes it impossible to upgrade. The symptom is that the directory /usr/share/gbrowse/databases dissapears after installation, which makes postinst fail when trying to chown it: chouca⁅build-area⁆$ LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg -i gbrowse_2.26~dfsg-1_all.deb (Reading database ... 210031 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace gbrowse 2.26~dfsg-1 (using gbrowse_2.26~dfsg-1_all.deb) ... Unpacking replacement gbrowse ... Setting up gbrowse (2.26~dfsg-1) ... chown: cannot access `/usr/share/gbrowse/databases': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing gbrowse (--install): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for man-db ... Errors were encountered while processing: gbrowse I have not figured out the reason. The gbrowse package contains the directory, and therefore should create it: chouca⁅build-area⁆$ dpkg -c gbrowse_2.26~dfsg-1_all.deb | grep /usr/share/gbrowse/databases drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2011-04-06 08:13 ./usr/share/gbrowse/databases/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 0 2011-04-06 08:13 ./usr/share/gbrowse/databases/users.sqlite Although the problem could be silenced by testing for the presence of /usr/share/gbrowse/databases/ before running chown, I think that it would be more safer to understand the cause and solve it properly. This is one of the reasons I am working on reducing the complexity of debian/rules and the postinst and postrm scripts, to make them easier to analyze.
