Package: reprepro
Version: 3.4.1-1
Severity: minor

I'm trying to use reprepro in a package. Since I don't want to specify
extra options for reprepro where to find certain dirs I created
symlinks like this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 Apr 28 13:59 db -> /var/lib/ia32-archive/db

But i forgot to create /var/lib/ia32-archive/db so the symlink is
dangling. Running reprepro now gives:

Error 2 creating lock file './db/lockfile': No such file or directory!

Since it normaly creates the db directory if missing I'm guessing you
lstat() it but don't stat() if to see if a link is dangling. Maybe
that check could be added for a better error message.
