Hi, a test with piuparts revealed that your package misses the copyright file after an upgrade, which is a violation of Policy 12.5: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/ is just an empty directory. This was observed on the following upgrade paths: testing -> sid stable -> sid >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m17.2s ERROR: WARN: Inadequate results from running adequate! libuim-dev:amd64: broken-symlink /usr/share/doc/libuim-dev -> uim-common libuim-dev:amd64: missing-copyright-file /usr/share/doc/libuim-dev/copyright 0m18.0s DUMP: MISSING COPYRIGHT FILE: /usr/share/doc/libuim-dev/copyright # ls -lad /usr/share/doc/libuim-dev lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 16 10:10 /usr/share/doc/libuim-dev -> uim-common # ls -la /usr/share/doc/libuim-dev/ ls: cannot access '/usr/share/doc/libuim-dev/': No such file or directory Additional info may be available here: https://wiki.debian.org/MissingCopyrightFile Note that dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks and vice versa, you need the maintainer scripts to do this. See in particular the end of point 4 in https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase It is recommended to use the dpkg-maintscript-helper commands 'dir_to_symlink' and 'symlink_to_dir' (available since dpkg 1.17.14) to perform the conversion, ideally using d/$PACKAGE.maintscript. Do not forget to add 'Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends}' in d/control. See dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) and dh_installdeb(1) for details. cheers, Andreas
