Package: xfree86-common
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge3
Severity: important


Hi,

Upon upgrading to version -14sarge3 from stable-proposed-updates,
xfree86-common's postinst dies with the following error:

syntax error in status file:  at /usr/sbin/install-docs line 383, <S> line 1.

This command in /var/lib/dpkg/info/xfree86-common.postinst seems to be the
culprit.  If run seperately, it fails with the same error.

> install-docs -i /usr/share/doc-base/debian-x-faq

install-docs works correctly with other control files.


Best regards,

Christoph Claus
