[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#676308: fonts-ipafont-{gothic, mincho}: fails to install: update-alternatives: error: error creating symbolic link /usr/share/fonts/truetype/*.ttf.dpkg-tmp



Package: fonts-ipafont-gothic,fonts-ipafont-mincho
Version: 00303-7
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package fonts-ipafont-gothic.
  (Reading database ... 6862 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking fonts-ipafont-gothic (from .../fonts-ipafont-gothic_00303-7_all.deb) ...

  update-alternatives: using /usr/share/fonts/opentype/ipafont-gothic/ipag.ttf to provide /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-japanese-gothic.ttf (fonts-japanese-gothic.ttf) in auto mode.
  update-alternatives: error: error creating symbolic link `/usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-japanese-gothic.ttf.dpkg-tmp': No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing fonts-ipafont-gothic (--configure):

You must ship /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ as an empty directory.
Please don't mkdir/rmdir manually in the maintainer script

cheers,

Andreas
