Package: php-htmlpurifier
Version: 4.6.0-1
Severity: serious
Hi,
When installing php-htmlpurifier on a testing system, I get the folowing
error messages:
,----
| Selecting previously unselected package php-htmlpurifier.
| Preparing to unpack .../php-htmlpurifier_4.6.0-1_all.deb ...
| dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: original symlink target is not an absolute path
| 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
`----
Indeed, the debian/maintscript involves relative symlinks.
However, according to dpkg's changelog, such relative symlinks have only
been supported since 1.17.14. So the php-htmlpurifier currently in
testing can't be installed by the dpkg currently in testing. I guess a
simple versioned dependency would fix that (alternatively, a rewrite of
the maintscript to use absolute targets for the symlinks).
Thanks,
Roland.
