Package: reprepro Version: 4.16.0-1 Severity: normal Hi Bernhard,
with a Debian native package having a setup like (for example) so debian -> debian-wheezy debian-squeeze/ debian-wheezy/ , i.e., 'debian/' being a symlink, reprepro fails to find 'debian/control', and finally fails with --- No section and no priority for 'PACKAGE', skipping. There have been errors! --- This is due to 'sourceextraction.c: parse_tarfile()', which iterates through all archive entries, and will never find "debian/control" as archive member string. I.e., iterating of libarchive entries, you only get "debian" "debian-wheezy/control" in this case. Maybe some extra code when "debian/" is a symlink may help here, in that loop. Of course this (i.e., using a symlink here) is not a standard or desireable setup; however, other Debian tools just work find with such a setup, and I don't know of any documented restrictions -- so I think this should be fixed in reprepro. Thanks!
