dpkg: warning - unable to delete old file `/usr/share/doc/httrack/html/server/sfx': Directory not empty
dpkg: warning - unable to delete old file `/usr/share/doc/httrack/html/server': Directory not empty
There are no specific script to cleanup - everything is done by dh_* scripts.
*BUT* note that /usr/share/doc/httrack/html is actually a simlink to ../../httrack/html (the reason is BUG 362836, which pointed that "Packages must not require the existence of any files in /usr/share/doc/ in order to function", and hence creating this simlink allow to respect DFSG without breaking the package)
Note that not only dpkg is issuing a warning, but also dies some time later in horrible screams:
dpkg: error processing webhttrack (--install):
package webhttrack is not ready for configuration
cannot configure (current status `config-files')
Just trying the 'dpkg -i' command again is solving the issue, but, err, this isn't something clean I guess.
I rechecked the package debian/ files, and I still don't understand where I screwed up.
