Package: elinks Version: 0.12~pre6-13 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Running debsums on updated sid install fails with the following error: # debsums -s debsums: Error: symlink loop detected in path 'usr/share/doc/elinks/changelog.Debian.gz'. Please file a bug again elinks. The cause of this error is unclear, as the only symling visible in given path is sane: $ ls -ld /usr/share/doc/elinks* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 août 1 2015 /usr/share/doc/elinks -> /usr/share/doc/elinks-data drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 déc. 1 2017 /usr/share/doc/elinks-data And sure enough, traversal works just fine for ls: $ ls -l /usr/share/doc/elinks*/ /usr/share/doc/elinks/: total 56 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7720 oct. 28 2012 AUTHORS.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13083 nov. 12 2017 changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 468 oct. 28 2012 changelog.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6255 juin 27 2014 copyright drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 déc. 1 2017 examples -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2595 oct. 28 2012 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1925 nov. 21 2013 README.Debian -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 793 oct. 28 2012 THANKS -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 464 oct. 28 2012 TODO /usr/share/doc/elinks-data/: total 56 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7720 oct. 28 2012 AUTHORS.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13083 nov. 12 2017 changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 468 oct. 28 2012 changelog.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6255 juin 27 2014 copyright drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 déc. 1 2017 examples -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2595 oct. 28 2012 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1925 nov. 21 2013 README.Debian -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 793 oct. 28 2012 THANKS -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 464 oct. 28 2012 TODO I picked "important" severity as, while it does not affect elinks per se, it prevents debsums from running at all (impossible to get past that point without uninstalling elinks). Maybe this bug should be reported against debusms instead ?
