install-docs should be shipped not executable in doc-base .deb and doc-base postinst should a+x it. (and prerm should a-x it). This way packages will not be able to use it before it is configured properly. If some package do not check if install-docs is executable before calling it we will need to divert it to install-docs.real and add a script /usr/sbin/install-docs like: #! /bin/sh if test -x /usr/sbin/install-docs.real; then exec /usr/sbin/install-docs "$@" fi Cheers -- Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Imagine a large red swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
