Ok, I edited the prerm and then dist-upgraded again; as expected, it didn't attempt to run the prerm script because docbook-xml had already been unpacked. I then did an 'apt-get install docbook-xml=4.4-5', installing the version from etch; there were no errors (and the rest of the packages that depended upon docbook-xml finished configuring). I edited 4.4-5's prerm script (removing the ||true's), and did another dist-upgrade; docbook-xml upgraded from 4.4-5 to 4.5-5, with no errors. At this point, I fear that I can't reproduce it. Considering that you can't reproduce it in a chroot, I suspect it can only be reproduced on a fresh etch install with a dist-upgrade to lenny. > > Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the problem on my i386 system > (I even checked one of my productive systems).
