Hi,

Same problem for me with package lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all.deb. I've filled a new bug (#1364616) in which I give the log of installation. And I noticed the error :

"dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: original symlink target is not an absolute path"

I've extracted the file lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all.deb and when I go in directory lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all/DEBIAN there some files (see attachment) which all contains a command which lead to an error when I'm trying to execute :

sebastien@utopic:~$ dpkg-maintscript-helper supports symlink_to_dir
dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME missing
dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE missing

I don't know if that could be linked to the bug. But someone more experienced in deb package structure will probably confirm if I'm wrong or right.

Thank you for your help.
