** Description changed: + [Impact / Justification] + While probably mostly cosmetic (how often to people link directly to NSS modules anyway?), shipping a -dev symlink to a non-existent library is poor form, at best, and could potentially break or confuse some esoteric build system at worst. + + [Test Case] + debdiff the old and new libc6-dev to note that the offending symlink is no longer shipped. + + [Regression Potential] + Very low. Just removing a single symlink to nowhere. + + [Original Report] The package libc6-dev in precise installs a dangling symlink. $ ll /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_db.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Okt 5 22:40 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_db.so -> /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_db.so.2 $ ll /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_db.so.2 ls: cannot access /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_db.so.2: No such file or directory $ dpkg -S /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_db.so libc6-dev: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_db.so
