Hello, I originally installed qiime version 1.7 on several machines which had not previously had qiime installed on them at all. When I did the original installs, I received the following warning during all of them:
W: pycompile:160: dangling symlink skipped: /usr/lib/qiime/bin/add_metadata.py (../../../bin/add_biom_metadata) I have since upgraded qiime to the version reported in the bug report (1.8.0+dfsg-2). I do not recall if I received the same warning when doing the upgrade from 1.7 to 1.8, but I don't believe so. Please note that, when I did the original installs: - /usr/bin/add_metadata existed - I did have python-biom-format installed Please note that, as far as I am aware, there have been no adverse consequences as a result of this warning, but also that I am not the user of the software on these machines.
