proposed fix:

pkg_postrm(){
    [ -n "${PF}" ] && rm -rf /usr/share/doc/${PF}
}

This doesn't clean up stale directories of previous versions, but is as safe as
possible, imho.

[Comment 2 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-07-21 12:46:57 UTC]

better make that


pkg_postrm(){
    [ -n "${PF}" ] && rm -rf ${ROOT}/usr/share/doc/${PF}
}

This removes the docs for the *current* version if you just re-emerge it.

[Comment 4 Hanno Böck 2005-09-13 15:35:59 UTC]

I've now changed the scribus-ebuild not to symlink the docs, but to move them 
completely to /usr/share/doc. 
This won't remove old stale symlinks, but it will not create new ones.
