On installation - rmdir: failed to remove ‘/usr/share/doc/php-apc’: Directory not empty

[Mark White]

1) 14.04 alpha
2) 4.0.2-2
3) Clean install
4) Error message reported on install:

Setting up php-apc (4.0.2-2) ...
rmdir: failed to remove ‘/usr/share/doc/php-apc’: Directory not empty

After install, a directory listing on /usr/share/doc does not show any directory for php-apc, and the package installs correctly.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same error message still present in 14.04 release, 4.0.2-2build1

Mainly a noise message seems like? After install I see the directory though.

I got the same just now, on 14.04, version i386 4.0.2-2build1. Perhaps interestingly, ls shows a circular link:

$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/php-apc/
