Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package tinc.
  (Reading database ...
(Reading database ... 4508 files and directories currently installed.)
  Preparing to unpack .../tinc_1.1~pre17-1.1_amd64.deb ...

  /var/lib/dpkg/info/tinc.postinst: 10: /var/lib/dpkg/info/tinc.postinst: cannot create /etc/tinc/nets.boot: Directory nonexistent
  dpkg: error processing package tinc (--configure):
   installed tinc package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   tinc

To avoid manually creating/removing from the maintainer scripts
better ship an empty directory in the package.


cheers,

Andreas
