As for the reason, it's because the > packages haven't been updated since Potato. I am questioning why they haven't been updated... Policy has changed quite a lot since potato and at least the /usr/doc/<package> -> /usr/share/doc/<package> symlink handling was droped from it. I would guess that mostly all of the packages that are still in the potato hierarchy must be updated to comply with current policy. About how many packages do we speak here? Would this be a valid aim for an upcoming bug squashing party? For not being (current?) policy compliant in fact _is_ a release critical bug. Maybe tracking the packages down and starting with filing the bugreports on them would be a good idea... Does someone have a list of those packages? Uhm, just a second: (some grep-available later) It's 63 packages, namely: Package: ccf Package: scansort Package: cern-httpd Package: rcs Package: gnosamba Package: festlex-oald Package: libgd-gif1 Package: ttfprint Package: libgd-gif-tools Package: abc2mtex Package: lclint-doc Package: jargon Package: libgd-gif1-dev Package: festvox-kallpc8k Package: libident-dev Package: libident Package: figfonts Package: festvox-kallpc16k Package: linleech Package: xtranslate Package: xmake Package: opustex Package: wwwcount Package: lpkg Package: gwm-doc Package: wmaker-usersguide-ps Package: libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 Package: festvox-kdlpc16k Package: makepasswd Package: doom-wad-shareware Package: festvox-rablpc8k Package: figfonts-cjk Package: festival-doc Package: dvi2tty Package: tkxanim Package: xtermset Package: cedicttools Package: fda Package: theme-converters Package: p2c Package: gwm Package: festlex-poslex Package: festvox-ellpc11k Package: dict-hitchcock Package: vje-delta Package: whirlgif Package: dict-gazetteer Package: rtlinux-doc Package: oneliner Package: floppybackup Package: dqs Package: festlex-cmu Package: festvox-rablpc16k Package: shapetools-tutorial Package: ttysnoop Package: hpscanpbm Package: glut-data Package: mocka Package: debian-test Package: festvox-don Package: ivtools-doc Package: dict-easton Package: termcap-compat I guess those should be updated to match current policy at least. I don't think that they would pass it without any changes. So long! Alfie -- <Alfie> I have a little problem with a bug-report I received... *scratch* <doogie> Alfie: I send those to /dev/null -- #debian-devel
