Bug Description

apt-get returns this error on install of the package:

apt-get returns this error on install of the package:

Setting up python-4suite-doc (0.99cvs20041008-3ubuntu1) ...
cannot create dhelp file '/usr/share/doc/python-4suite-doc/html/.dhelp': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing python-4suite-doc (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Here's the postinst script:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_installdocs
if [ "$1" = configure ] && which install-docs >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        install-docs -i /usr/share/doc-base/python-4suite-doc
fi
# End automatically added section

I'm not entirely sure why, but seems that it's trying to copy files to html/ before the directory itself exists?
