Package: git-core
Version: 1:1.5.2~rc3-1
Severity: normal
installation (not upgrade) has the same issue and I am not sure why the heck it
is happening -- /usr/bin/git (to which link is tried to be created) is within
the package, but not installed for some reason, so all links to it break.
if I touch (create an empty /usr/bin/git) before installation
of the package -- everything installs fine but /usr/bin/git remains
empty... weirdo... as a workaround I just exctracted files from the .deb and
copied git manually under /usr/bin/git, and then ran dpkg -i once again...
