Package: dash Version: 0.5.12-4 Severity: serious Hi,
if you --path-exclude=/usr/share/man, dash fails to upgrade from -2. Reproducer: mmdebstrap trixie /dev/null --dpkgopt='path-exclude=/usr/share/man/*' --chrooted-customize-hook='sed -i -e s/trixie/sid/ /etc/apt/sources.list; apt-get update; apt-get -y install dash' Unfortunately, this breaks upgrading docker images debian:sid-slim to unstable at the moment and that breaks lots of CI jobs. I guess it is the readlink that silently fails on the non-existent manual page link. Probably, when that link doesn't exist and it is diverted by dash, we should assume that it is ok-ish: actualtarget=$(readlink "$dfile") || actualtarget=$ltarget What do you think? Helmut
