[Bug 1613351] [NEW] package gcc-doc not installed failed to install/upgrade: there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up

[Matthias Andree]

Public bug reported:

The info command invocation from the .prerm script is b0rked and lacks
the "dir" parameter. To fix, it is probably necessary to either add a
.prerm script to the new version that cleans up the 14.04.X mess, or
upgrade the old version so that it can deinstall itself properly on a
half-upgraded 16.04 system.
