If your package depends on libc6, that's enough, because libc6.postinst ensures that /var/mail exists on upgrades. If your package does not depend on libc6 you should make it to depend on base-files >= 2.2.0, since base-files.postinst also ensures that /var/mail exists on upgrades. In debian-policy_3.5.6.0 from woody, it's in "10.1.3". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
