Package: dpkg Version: 1.4.0.24 Strange situation here:
Two packages of me contained /man/man1 (this is a bug, okay), glade, glademm. I installed glademm with /man/man1 directory. I also installed glade with /man/man1. Then I upgraded glade to a version without /man/man1. Because I didn't know that glademm contains the directories, I removed them, and downgraded to glade with /man/man1 for testing (I intended to upgrade again, to see if dpkg removes the directories). See what happened: flora:/gnu# dpkg -i /home/brinkmds/debian/packages/glade/glade_0.3.1-1_i386.deb (Reading database ... 33858 files and directories currently installed.)
