Partially upgrading from Slink to unstable, I found some packages which used new options of rmdir and chmod in their postinst scripts, but didn't depend on a recent version of fileutils.deb
This can stop the scripts and thus an upgrade if the user doesn't manually upgrade his fileutils.deb
I don't know how many packages are concerned, but since most people playing with unstable probably have completly unstable installation, this problem could stay hidden for some time if maintainers don't check themselves their scripts.
For the record, I've had problems with the --ignore-fail-on-non-empty option of rmdir, and chmod --reference, which were not there in fileutils 3.16 (the Slink version).
Have a nice day,
Keith

Hi,
I scanned the lintian laboratory to look for things like that and I
checked each package concerned. I submitted a bug against typespeed and
mailed Manoj Srivastava because he has many packages potentially
concerned. Other packages already had the good dependency (like debconf).
So I'm closing this bug now.
Cheers,
