** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Expired => New
** Tags removed: apport-bug kernel-fs kj-triage maverick needs-upstream-testing
** Tags added: quantal
** Description changed:
- Here is the problem:
+ The linux-doc package contains many symlinks that refer to the build
+ process and are not present on an installed system. For example:
- $ symlinks -r /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/
- dangling: /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/html/dvb ->
/build/buildd/linux-2.6.35/Documentation/DocBook/dvb
- dangling: /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/html/media-indices.tmpl ->
/build/buildd/linux-2.6.35/Documentation/DocBook/media-indices.tmpl
- dangling: /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/html/media-entities.tmpl ->
/build/buildd/linux-2.6.35/Documentation/DocBook/media-entities.tmpl
- dangling: /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/html/v4l ->
/build/buildd/linux-2.6.35/Documentation/DocBook/v4l
+ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 67 Oct 5 04:03 /usr/share/doc/linux-
+ doc/html/audio.xml ->
