Package: ed
Version: 1.10-2
Severity: serious
Justification: makes unrelated software on the system break
Hello,
according to
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/arm64/ed/filelist
the ed package ships a file /usr/share/info/dir.gz on arm64. Installing
this package overwrites the index of installed info pages making these
inaccessible.
The problem occurs iff the building host has install-info installed. The
arm64 buildlog[1] has:
install -m 644 ./doc/ed.info "/«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/ed/usr/share/info/ed.info"
install-info --info-dir="/«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/ed/usr/share/info"
"/«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/ed/usr/share/info/ed.info"
.. While e.g. on armhf[2] these lines are followed by
/bin/sh: 1: install-info: not found
make[1]: [install-info] Error 127 (ignored)
they are not on arm64.
Best regards
Uwe
