Package: ncompress Version: 4.2.4.5-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
the command "compress -dc file.Z > t.t" fails if file.Z is a soft link. The error message is: "file.Z is not a directory or a regular file - ignored". Before the latest update this command worked without problems. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages ncompress depends on: ii libc6 2.28-2 ncompress recommends no packages. ncompress suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
