need help: dpkg problem
Hi!
I'm having a dpkg problem here and I don't know how to handle this:
Package debiandoc-sgml installs the following files (and a few others
too):
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1997-07-24 17:58 usr/lib/
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1997-07-24 17:58 usr/lib/sgml/
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1997-07-24 17:58 usr/lib/sgml/entities/
-rw-r--r-- root/root 6047 1997-07-24 17:58
usr/lib/sgml/entities/general
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1997-07-24 17:58 usr/lib/sgml/dtd/
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2827 1997-07-24 17:58
usr/lib/sgml/dtd/debiandoc.dtd
Package sgml-data installs the following files:
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1997-07-24 17:44 usr/
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1997-07-24 17:43 usr/lib/
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1997-07-24 17:43 usr/lib/sgml/
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1997-07-24 17:44 usr/lib/sgml/entities/
-rw-r--r-- root/root 15159 1997-07-24 17:44

...
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1997-07-24 17:44 usr/lib/sgml/dtd/
-rw-r--r-- root/root 1004 1997-02-14 02:12

First, I install debiandoc-sgml and `dpkg -L debiandoc-sgml' list this
(besides a few other files):
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/sgml
/usr/lib/sgml/entities
/usr/lib/sgml/entities/general
/usr/lib/sgml/dtd
/usr/lib/sgml/dtd/debiandoc.dtd
When I install sgml-data now, I get this message:
(Reading database ... 26645 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace sgml-data 0.03 (using .../sgml-data_0.03_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement sgml-data ...
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:

debiandoc-sgml

Updating SGML catalog entry for package sgml-data...
Please not the `overriding problem'. When I run `dpkg -L debiandoc-sgml'
again, I see:
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/sgml
/usr/lib/sgml/entities/general
/usr/lib/sgml/dtd/debiandoc.dtd
Note, that the directory entry for `/usr/lib/sgml/entities' is missing!
and also for `/usr/lib/sgml/dtd' !!!
Also note, that the files `/usr/lib/sgml/entities/general' and
`/usr/lib/sgml/dtd/debiandoc.dtd' are missing in the file system now!!!
But the two directories a sgml-data's files still exist.
Can someone tell me what's going on here???
Thanks in advance,
Chris (really confused new 8-)
