I don't know - did you do that conversion before 2001?
The code in question is:
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 1.17-2; then
if [ -d /usr/share/groff/site-tmac ]; then
if [ -d /etc/groff ]; then
# Erm. This shouldn't happen.
echo "Moving /usr/share/groff/site-tmac out of the way."
mv -f /usr/share/groff/site-tmac \
/usr/share/groff/site-tmac.old
else
echo "Moving /usr/share/groff/site-tmac to /etc/groff."
mv -f /usr/share/groff/site-tmac /etc/groff
touch /usr/share/groff/site-tmac.moved-by-preinst
fi
fi
[...]
fi
(/usr/share/groff/site-tmac.moved-by-preinst is then cleaned up in the
postinst.)
The only thing I can see that could go wrong here is that
/usr/share/groff/site-tmac existed on your system as a plain directory
yet dpkg thought the installed version of groff-base was >= 1.17-2. A
conversion from another system *could* account for that.
