Package: sgml-base Version: 1.29 Tags: patch User: trei...@debian.org Usertags: colis-shparser
Hello, the preinst of sgml-base contains if [ ! -d /var/lib/sgml-base ] then mkdir /var/lib/sgml-base 2>/dev/null fi and then the same for /etc/sgml. The problem is that this fails when /var/lib/sgml-base or /etc/sgml is a regular file, and will do that without any error message. I suggest to replace the whole preinst script by if [ "$1" = "install" -o "$1" = "upgrade" ] then mkdir -p /var/lib/sgml-base /etc/sgml fi -Ralf. -- Ralf Treinen Institut de Recherche en Informatique Fondamentale Équipe Preuves, Programmes et Systèmes Université Paris Diderot, Paris, France. http://www.irif.fr/~treinen/
