#>ls -d1 /usr/share/doc/cups*

/usr/share/doc/cups-1.1.20
/usr/share/doc/cups-1.1.20-r1

These directories exist, because they contain a html symlink to /usr/share/cups/docs, which won't get removed when cups gets updated.

Comment 5 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-06 04:22:48 UTC 
fixed.
Comment 6 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-18 03:20:44 UTC 
Heinrich: I modified your fix slightly, but after searching the tree finding
net-print/cups-pdf I suspect that we still delete the docs of this package and
probably future ones. I propose moving the line to pkg_postrm() and fix only ${PF}.
Comment 7 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-24 05:12:26 UTC 
Oh, and / should be prefixed by ${ROOT}.
Comment 8 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-04 01:36:31 UTC 
go ahead
Comment 9 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2005-08-10 15:01:57 UTC 
I have attached a testcase ebuild to bug 59593 which seems to be a duplicate bug.
