Bug#609565: fails to upgrade: rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/doc/libglib2.0-dev': Is a directory

[Michael Biebl]

Package: libglib2.0-dev
Version: 2.27.90-2
Severity: serious

Upgrading libglib2.0-dev (and libglib2.0-data) from 2.27.5-1 → 2.27.90-2
fails:

Preparing to replace libglib2.0-dev 2.27.5-1 (using .../libglib2.0-dev_2.27.90-2_i386.deb) ...
rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/doc/libglib2.0-dev': Is a directory
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libglib2.0-dev_2.27.90-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
configured to not write apport reports
                                      Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libglib2.0-dev_2.27.90-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I assume this is because of:
  "* Stop symlinking /usr/share/doc/$pkg directories."

Cheers,
Michael
