Package: git Version: 1:2.10.2-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Lines 3 and 4 in the git.maintscript file are missing the second path (new-target). dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/hooks 1:1.7.7-1 dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/emacs 1:1.7.4~rc1-0.1 The format as specified by `man dpkg-maintscript-helper`: dir_to_symlink pathname new-target [prior-version [package]] I believe these lines should be changed to: dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/hooks ../../../git-core/contrib/hooks 1:1.7.7-1 dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/emacs ../../../git-core/contrib/emacs 1:1.7.4~rc1-0.1 Finally, I believe that this is related to bug #676316 (wishlist bug to use dpkg-mainter-helper scripts) which can probably now be closed.
