Package: stow Version: 1.3.3-2
I have a chroot mounted in /usr/local/chroot that I use for the sbuild package. It appears that since proc is mounted inside the chroot, when unstowing a package, stow gets confused and goes after symlinks that are not there:
$ sudo stow -D findbugs-0.8.6/ stow: Cannot read link /usr/local/chroot/woody/proc/2/task/2/exe (No such file or directory)
It unstows properly, but maxes CPU for a few seconds and then spews the above error. Also, this causes a failure when restowing (with the -R option) a package, as the unstow operation errors out and it never gets back around to stowing again.
Recommend modyifing stow to not traverse (either on a stow or an unstow operation) into any pseudo filesystem (proc, dev, and so on).
