Package: tiger
Version: 3.2.1-35
Severity: normal

At some test Tiger uses "ls" for every file on the filesystem. If it
encounters symlinks which point to nowhere, an error message is printed by
/bin/ls to stderr:

/bin/ls: /dev/.udev/db/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@vcsa8: No such file or directory
/bin/ls: /dev/.udev/db/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@vcs8: No such file or directory
/bin/ls: /dev/.udev/db/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@vcsa5: No such file or directory
/bin/ls: /dev/.udev/db/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@vcs5: No such file or directory

Udev is a particular package which has lots of such symlinks. The same holds
for directories exported with NFS (where its symlinks are only valid at the
machine where the directory is mounted).

So, either make Tiger complain about invalid symlinks (so that they can be
ignored in tiger.ignore. Or just redirect any error messages of /bin/ls to
/dev/null.
