I think that should work OK, although I wouldn't guarantee it. For myself, I edited the preinst in the .deb and added '|| true' to the end of the offending line, as the script seemed to be intended to do something if /usr/share/doc/libdb2-util was a symbolic link but probably wasn't intended to fail if it was a real directory. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
