I looked at the /var/lib/dpkg/info/pre-installed-documentation-rx44.postinst script, and that's true that it should not fail just because the ~sfil_li_folder_user_guides directory is empty (unless this is due to a bug in busybox). I hope maacruz can give more information about:

Note 1: I'm not sure about the real cause of the SSU failure in my case. As the SSU didn't give any error message, it is really difficult to know. But if SSU really fails if ~sfil_li_folder_user_guides is empty, then this is the most probable cause of failure in my case.

Note 2: in case this is important, the MyDocs/.sounds directory was empty when I did the upgrade (but I don't see why this could be a cause of failure).
