Hi,
I haven't been bitten by this, but reading the code of
dpkg-maintscript-helper I find this in the function
finish_dir_to_symlink:
find "$PATHNAME" -mindepth 1 -print0 | \
xargs -0 -i% mv -f "%" "$ABS_SYMLINK_TARGET/"
This won't work when $PATHNAME contains a non-empty directory
since then the code will try to move both the directory, and
the files contained in it, which will fail no matter in which
order this is done. I think the invocation of find should
rather be
find "$PATHNAME" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -print0 | \
-Ralf.
