Yes, and the preinst script for r-base-core already does a similar cleanup
(see via 'less /var/lib/dpkg/info/r-base-core.preinst) so I am adding the
following new file r-doc-html.preinst :
#!/bin/sh
#
# preinst script for the Debian GNU/Linux r-doc-html package
# This version written by Dirk Eddelbuettel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
set -e
#DEBHELPER#
case "$1" in

# edd 05 Jul 2006 from with the /usr/lib -> /usr/share transition
directory=
if [ -h /usr/share/doc/r-doc-html/manual ]
then
echo "Remving symbolic link /usr/share/doc/r-doc-html/manual/"
rm /usr/share/doc/r-doc-html/manual/
fi
;;
abort-upgrade)
;;
*)
echo "preinst called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2
;;
esac
exit 0
Is it ok with you if I tag the bug as fixed, but leave it open til the next
actual package upload (which may be a 2.4.0 prerelease at the end of summer).
Regards, Dirk
