Bug#854576: libreoffice-dev: fails to upgrade libreoffice-dev-doc from jessie with --install-recommends enabled
Hi,
in stretch, if I
apt-get install --install-recommends libreoffice-dev-doc
I get
# ls -la /usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev-doc

So you are installing something over an existing symlink in stretch ...
==> Please make libreoffice-dev-doc ship its content in
/usr/share/doc/libreoffice-core/sdk instead of /usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev/sdk
(you may adjust the /usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev-doc/api link as well)
==> and have libreoffice-dev Conflicts: libreoffice-dev-doc (<< 1:5.2.5-2~)
(the dir_to_symlink part should be fine as is, maybe bump the version to 1:5.2.5-2~, too)
I haven't tested it, but that should solve the "mv: cannot stat" problem.
let me look at my logfile again ...

mv: cannot stat '/usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev/sdk/readme': No such file or directory
libreoffice-dev.preinst: d-m-h goes fine, no problematic files are found (-dev-doc was removed temporarily)
libreoffice-dev.postinst: d-m-h suddenly finds newly owned files below /usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev/ and explodes
So, yes, shipping directly in /usr/share/doc/libreoffice-core/sdk should do the trick
