Hi Nico, First of all thanks for your work on NetCDF!

Do you have local changes not yet available in the git repository? http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/netcdf.git > Document: netCDF > Title: NetCDF Manual > Author: Russ Rew, Glenn Davis, Steve Emmerson, Harvey Davies, Ed > Hartnett, Dennis Heimbigner, Ward Fisher > Abstract: This manual describes what netCDF is, and how it can be used. > Section: File Management > > Format: HTML > Index: /usr/share/doc/netCDF/index.html > Files: /usr/share/doc/netCDF/*.html > ``` > and of course a bunch of files in > ``` > $ ls /usr/share/doc/netCDF/* > [...] > ``` > Up until now, I've always put all files of `/usr/share/doc/netCDF/*` > into libnetcdf-doc, and the file `/usr/share/doc-base/netCDF` into the > libnetcdf-dev package. With this, however, I'm getting The doc-base file should be in the same package as the documention it references, moving the doc-base file to libnetcdf-doc should be the right way forward. > ``` > $ install-docs --verbose --check /usr/share/doc-base/netCDF > Warning in `/usr/share/doc-base/netCDF', line 1: invalid value of > `Document' field. > Warning in `/usr/share/doc-base/netCDF', line 9: file > `/usr/share/doc/netCDF/index.html' does not exist. > Error in `/usr/share/doc-base/netCDF', line 9: all `Format' sections > are invalid. > ``` > The second warning I understand, but I'm not sure how to best fix it. > Move `/usr/share/doc-base/netCDF` into the doc package? > The first warning and the error I don't understand. > > Ideas, anyone? I wanted to reproduce your problem, but was unable because the source package in git is different from the source you're working with.
