Hi Harald,

Thank you for the bug report.  Yesterday, when I tested upgrading from
0~git20161123-1 to 0~git20180307.2b4c4d7e-1 this error did not occur
because 0~git20161123-1 does not provide
/usr/share/yasnippet-snippets/clojure-mode/.yas-parents.

Consequently, I've tagged this bug moreinfo.  Would you please run:

locate /clojure-mode/.yas-parents

And additionally provide steps to reproduce, because I am unable to
reproduce this on my own machine, in a clean sid chroot, or during a
stretch2sid upgrade.

Thank you,
Nicholas
