Bug#276259: [pkg-dcc-hackers] Bug#276259: upgrade of dcc-common from 1.2.50-1 to 1.2.54-1 fails

[Martin Zobel-Helas]

Hi Lucas,

sorry for replying this late. It is cdcc producing this output, when
/var/lib/dcc/map already exists.

I will introduce an "update-dccmaps"-command in 1.2.57 which should
solve this problem. Currently maps are generated/updated by every 
postinst-run which i belive is some kind of overkill. One could run the
update-dccmaps manually every time one does manual changes to the maps.

Greetings
Martin
