install-docs problem during package installation
Hi,
When you use doc-base then dh_installdocs usually creates entries in postinst
scripts which calls install-docs.
A problem and a question regarding this:
(P) when install-docs is called on the command line you get:
cat: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-window-manager: No such file or directory
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: Unknown command: ``-''
This message happens all over the place for every entry in
/usr/share/doc-base. Now it appears that the x-window-manager is a rarity
these days and x-session-manager the norm. I get unreliable results from
dhelp due to this error. How can it be fixed?
(Q) Since install-docs and update-menus are used when a doc-base and menu
entry exists in the debian directory.... Does it mean that you must have:
Depends: doc-base, menu
in the control file?
Thank you

The Internet will destroy the barriers that are isolating people
from decent opportunities based on where they happened to have been born,
and this will be a fundamental transformation of our global society that will
greatly discomfort a lot of worthless people. Then those same worthless people
will create new barriers based on access to source code, licenses,
software permissions, etc. Sigh.
