> debian -> ../../another/dir/ For the package I'm building the folder structure looks like this: -nightly - packaging - deb - nightly - control - rules - ... - debian -> packaging/deb/nightly The debian folder is a symlink to another folder within the same directory. I also tested the case when the link destination is outside the directory structure like: - packaging - deb - nightly - control - rules - ... -nightly - debian -> ../packaging/deb/nightly This basically ends up in the same error but with a different path prefix (../../../): chmod: cannot access '../../../packaging/deb/freerdp-nightly/freerdp-nightly/usr/share/doc/freerdp-nightly/changelog': No such file or directory However if the link is only "one level" like the following it works: -nightly - nightly - control - rules - ... - debian -> nightly All of the above combinations worked before 9.20160306. When I narrowing it down the problem seems to be related to commit https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debhelper/debhelper.git/commit/dh_compress?id=ef24f6405d14d1359d4b4e4c2028a28b47035d8b Thank you.
