I have a problem with cvs-doc: When it tries to handle the /usr/doc -> 
/usr/share/doc transition I get an error from install_docs:

: dhelp_parse: You can add only directories under /usr/doc!
: 
: warning: error occured during execution of /usr/sbin/dhelp_parse -d at
: /usr/sbin/install-docs line 201.

cvs-doc.postinst calls 

      install-docs -i /usr/share/doc-base/cvs-doc-client

and cvs-doc-client contains

      Index: /usr/share/doc/cvs/html-cvsclient/cvsclient_toc.html

which might be the line dhelp_parse doesn't like.

I talk about:
cvs-doc 1.10.7-1.99.slink.y2k.0
dhelp 0.3.11

(probably same problem: gmc, libglib1.2-dev, gnome-users-guide-en,
imlib-base, all from y2k-update)


Another thing mainly for Vincent (packages from ~vincent/slink-update):

There might be another /usr/{share/}doc problem with the package
menu 2.1.4-2.slink.0 as it contains files in /usr/doc and
/usr/share/doc. Balsa contains an empty dir /usr/doc/balsa ...
