Yes, I don't have debian-reference installed. I don't need all the other
languages. So that is where the bug lies!

Hi,

I think the problem is that it's possible to have a system with
debian-reference-en installed and debian-reference not installed
(without any system package complain). But the former needs the latter.

OK. I finally managed to reproduce your bug. Could you please check
that the debian-reference package isn't installed in your system?

Perhaps debian-reference-common should depends on debian-reference.

Maybe there is another package that has already created the file
structure, but I don't have it installed. Thus I get the bug and you don't.

I don't know if it's relevant here, but dpkg manual reads (talking about
dpkg -i)

" 5.  If another version of the same package was installed before the
new installation, execute the postrm script of the old package. Note
that this script is executed after the preinst script of the new
package, because new files are written at the same time old files are

Hi Dan,

I find some differences. For example:

file /usr/share/doc/debian-reference/docs/debian-reference.en.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian-reference/docs/debian-reference.en.txt.gz: gzip 
compressed data, max compression, from Unix

BTW that's the line number 9 in my file, not 10.

file /usr/share/doc/debian-reference/docs/index.en.html
/usr/share/doc/debian-reference/docs/index.en.html: XML 1.0 document, UTF-8 
Unicode text

install-docs --verbose --check  /usr/share/doc-base/debian-reference-en
/usr/share/doc-base/debian-reference-en: No problems found.

Here is my entire /usr/share/doc-base/debian-reference-en file:

error?

I am not saying there is no problem around doc-base but the above is fact.

This file is accessed through path in which one directory is symlink.
So there may be some problem but it is not clear what is causing problem
at your end.

You should tell me what package uses this hook... maybe related to #780692

OK, let me install dwww ... No problem here.

I do not know what more should I do.
