Package: postgresql Version 9.6+181 Severity: normal Dear maintainer,
When setting up postgresql on a 'minimal' debian, where I would have rm -rf-ed /usr/share/man, postgresl (and its siblings) will fail to install. In the following snippet, man/man1 was re-created, but man7 was still missing. Setting up postgresql-client-9.6 (9.6.3-3) ... update-alternatives: using /usr/share/postgresql/9.6/man/man1/psql.1.gz to provide /usr/share/man/man1/psql.1.gz (psql.1.gz) in auto mode update-alternatives: error: error creating symbolic link '/usr/share/man/man7/ABORT.7.gz.dpkg-tmp': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package postgresql-client-9.6 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 What I also noticed (not specifically here) is that if /usr/share/man could not be found, more things went badly (unable to access /usr/share/man1 No such file or directory or the like). Other packages, which also supply man-pages, do not seem to suffer from this problem, they simply just continue. Thank you, Olliver _______________________________________________ Pkg-postgresql-public mailing list Pkg-postgresql-public@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-postgresql-public
