indeed, this was a case of some stupid extra rules in debian/rules - I thought the /usr/share directory was deleted before dh_pysupport did run. But this still doesn't stop the package from being completely uninstallable in the case somebody deletes the /usr/share directory (accidentally), it isn't even reinstallable in such a case. Imho it should handle such cases more gracefully. Cheers, Bernd -- Bernd Zeimetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bzed.de/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
