Bug#688416: grub-common: error creating directory `./usr/share/locale/de_CH/LC_MESSAGES': No such file or directory

[Axel Beckert]

Package: grub-common
Version: 2.00-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

upgrading grub-common from Sid to Experimental result in this error:

Preparing to replace grub-common 1.99-22.1 (using .../grub-common_2.00-5_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement grub-common ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/grub-common_2.00-5_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 error creating directory `./usr/share/locale/de_CH/LC_MESSAGES': No such file or directory
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Maybe the "." in front of "/usr/share/locale/" shouldn't be there.
