I think I now understood what is happening here. Both python3 and dicoweb are being installed in the same run. At the time python3 gets configured, dicoweb is already unpacked, but not yet configured and therefore /etc/dicoweb/settings.py does not yet exist (dpkg has only unpacked it as /etc/dicoweb/settings.py.dpkg-new). As part of the python3 configuration step the rtupdate hook is being run ... and explodes while accessing the dangling symlink. You should probably ask the python maintainers for help, since you are exploiting a corner case in their packaging helpers ... Andreas
