As a partial answer, I was able to bypass this error by creating an empty .manifest.json in postinst. https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/redmine/-/blob/master/debian/redmine.postinst? ref_type=heads#L51-52 This seems a bit hacky, as I have no idea why an empty copy of this file is sufficient, but I don’t really know what is looking for this file and what it does with the information it finds there. If shipping an empty .manifest.json is the correct solution, I would imagine it would make more sense to move its creation to debian/rules instead of handling it in postinst. Any feedback would be appreciated. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
