[pkg-php-pear] Bug#767460: php-htmlpurifier: Missing versioned dependency on dpkg

[Roland Mas]

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):

| dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: original symlink target is not an absolute path
| dpkg: error while cleaning up:

`----

  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.
