Package: apt-proxy
Version: 1.3.0
Severity: normal

The manpage for apt-proxy-import doesn't specify that the full, not a
realtive, path is required to import:

    SYNOPSIS
           apt-proxy-import [-c <config-file>] [directory-name] ...

Failure to provide a full path results in broken links in
/var/cache/apt-proxy/dpkg-name.links.  Specifying cwd as '.' results in
recursive links.


Fix:  Modify documentation to indicate full path is required, or modify
program to convert relative paths to full path when generating links.


Workaround:  specify full path, or "$PWD" for cwd.
