Err, ...
no when i add #DEBHELPER#, it adds the following stuff only :
# Automatically added by dh_installdocs
if [ \( "$1" = "upgrade" -o "$1" = "remove" \) -a -L /usr/doc/ocaml-doc ];
then
rm -f /usr/doc/ocaml-doc
fi
# End automatically added section
Nothing gets installed by installinfo.
Guess i will have to do it by hand.
By the way, why does this package says :
Selecting previously deselected package ocaml-doc.
(Reading database ... 61386 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace ocaml-doc 2.04-1 (using ocaml-doc_2.04-1_all.deb) ...
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute old pre-removal script: Exec format error

dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...

dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format
error
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
ocaml-doc_2.04-1_all.deb
What is the meaning of exec format error ? And how do i fix it ?
