Bug#300767: r-doc-html: HTML documents in /usr/lib/R/doc/manual are loop symlinks
Scribit Dirk Eddelbuettel dies 21/03/2005 hora 20:49: You better check again. You may have a problem with your /usr/share/doc hierarchy, or something else is going one. I don't see the point. The files are in /usr/lib, and are symlinks on themselves. Why would it be a /usr/share/doc issue? BTW, I purged the package and installed it, and everything's fine. I don't understand. Is it possible that something was wrong in a maintainer's script, something dealing with configuration files? (I had resintalled it two times before, the dangling symlinks were still there) Strangely, Nowhere man -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP 0xD9D50D8A signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Why would it be a /usr/share/doc issue? I am unsure about what could cause it. That was just an educated guess based on an issue we once had years ago when we migrated /usr/doc - /usr/share/doc/. But if your system isn't old, this doesn't apply. | BTW, I purged the package and installed it, and everything's fine. I | don't understand.

Look at 'dpkg -c /path/to/r-doc-html_*.deb' which already contains the symlinks.
