It worked before: I just successfully upgraded php-htmlpurifier using dpkg 1.17.10. Looking closer at dpkg changelog, the regression seems to have been introduced in dpkg 1.17.13: > * Fix dpkg-maintscript-helper symlink_to_dir to assure absolute pathnames > arguments.

I’d rather reassign this bug to dpkg 1.17.13 and close it with dpkg 1.17.14 (php-htmlpurifier is not the only package relying on symlink_to_dir. As documented on dpkg-maintscript-helper(1), the old-target must be provided, and such target are often relatives, as expected by the policy). Regards David
