Bug#792850: gmp-ecm, libecm-dev: copyright file missing after upgrade (policy 12.5)
Package: gmp-ecm,libecm-dev
Version: 6.4.4+ds-2
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
a test with piuparts revealed that your package misses the copyright
file after an upgrade, which is a violation of Policy 12.5:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile
After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/ is just an empty directory.
This was observed on the following upgrade paths:
stretch -> sid

Additional info may be available here:

Note that dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks
and vice versa, you need the maintainer scripts to do this.
See in particular the end of point 4 in
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase
It is recommended to use the dpkg-maintscript-helper commands
'dir_to_symlink' and 'symlink_to_dir' (available since dpkg 1.17.14)
to perform the conversion, ideally using d/$PACKAGE.mainstscript.
Do not forget to add 'Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends}' in d/control.
See dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) and dh_installdeb(1) for details.
cheers,
Andreas

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Andreas, thanks for your report. I am agree that there is an error here: I would save some space and at the end I get a bugreport. Poor me :-( Whatever. My point is that I am ready to fix it: the main issue right now is that I am blind to this error because my piuparts cannot detect it: I run piuparts version 0.64~bpo8+1 ((on my fresh Jessie box)) while your attached log was produced by the most recent version 0.65~201507160102~0.62-31728-gf6286b : in short, I feel stuck, not to say uncomfortable. It would be great it I could reproduce the issue on my own box before to try to fix it; I think.
