It is a known bug in texinfo. If the package (and hence directory, via use of pbuilder) contains a ~, the files get dropped: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -c /var/cache/pbuilder/result/r-doc-pdf_2.8.0~20081013-1_all.deb drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 20032 2008-10-13 10:26 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 20761 2008-10-13 10:26 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/copyright lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-intro.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-intro.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-exts.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-exts.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-lang.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-lang.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-data.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-data.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-FAQ.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-FAQ.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-admin.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-admin.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-ints.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-ints.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:35 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/refman.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/refman.pdf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ If the package does not contain a ~ in the name (as in this accidental build when I had not yet fixed the changlog entry) it all works: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -c /var/cache/pbuilder/result/r-doc-pdf_2.8.0.20081013-1_all.deb drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/doc/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/doc/manual/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 647937 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/doc/manual/R-intro.pdf -rw-r--r-- root/root 770501 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/doc/manual/R-exts.pdf -rw-r--r-- root/root 409698 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/doc/manual/R-lang.pdf -rw-r--r-- root/root 276439 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/doc/manual/R-data.pdf -rw-r--r-- root/root 536602 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/doc/manual/R-FAQ.pdf -rw-r--r-- root/root 445906 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/doc/manual/R-admin.pdf -rw-r--r-- root/root 334733 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/doc/manual/R-ints.pdf -rw-r--r-- root/root 8377936 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/R/doc/manual/refman.pdf drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 20034 2008-10-13 10:07 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 20761 2008-05-24 08:30 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/copyright lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-intro.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-intro.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-exts.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-exts.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-lang.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-lang.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-data.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-data.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-FAQ.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-FAQ.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-admin.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-admin.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/R-ints.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/R-ints.pdf lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-10-13 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/r-doc-pdf/manual/refman.pdf -> ../../../R/doc/manual/refman.pdf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Kurt, where do we stand with that? Hadn't you concluded that texinfo upstream knew this / fixed this? In any event, come next Monday and R 2.8.0-1, the bug will be gone so I'll tag this as 'pending' and reduce the severity if you don't mind.
