[pkg-php-pear] Bug#767689: php-htmlpurifier: fails to install: dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: original symlink target is not an absolute path

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: php-htmlpurifier
Version: 4.6.0-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at 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 php-htmlpurifier.
  (Reading database ... 8772 files and directories currently installed.)
  Preparing to unpack .../php-htmlpurifier_4.6.0-1_all.deb ...

  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/php-htmlpurifier_4.6.0-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
  dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: original symlink target is not an absolute path
  dpkg: error while cleaning up:
   subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/php-htmlpurifier_4.6.0-1_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
