Package: dash
Version: 0.5.5.1-7.3
Severity: important

I have Lenny on a thin client with a limited amount of disk space. All
documentation has been removed. The upgrade to Squeeze stops with

  cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz': No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dash_0.5.5.1-7.3_i386.deb 
(--unpack):

It will proceed after doing

  dpkg-divert --remove /bin/sh
  touch /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz

and relinking /bin/sh to bash but this was not obvious to me at the
time. Wouldn't it be better to check for the presence of sh.1.gz and
still allow the upgrade to go ahead in its absence?
