Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.13.14

Howto reproduce the bug:

A (arbitrary) Debian-Package is under test/dir/apt-howto_2.0.0-2_all.deb.

Then I do the following:

mkdir test-dvd; cd test-dvd; ln -s ../test/dir/

so that the package can be found under test-dvd/dir/apt-howto_2.0.0-2_all.deb

The following command does the right thing:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/data/mirrors$ dpkg-scanpackages test/ /dev/null
Package: apt-howto
Version: 2.0.0-2
.
.
.
 ** Packages in archive but missing from override file: **
  apt-howto

 Wrote 1 entries to output Packages file.

But when scanning the test-dvd directory the following happens (this is the 
bug):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/data/mirrors$ dpkg-scanpackages test-dvd/ /dev/null
 Wrote 0 entries to output Packages file.

In version 1.13.13 the bug isn't present. Only 1.13.14 and above is affected.
When symlinking the deb-file directly instead of the directory (dir) everything 
works OK.

Josef Gasteiger
