Package: linux-kbuild-2.6.32
Version: 2.6.32-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
The symlink,
/usr/src/linux-kbuild-2.6.32
was installed as a dangling symlink, because on my system /usr/src/ is
not on the same filesystem as /usr/lib/,
$ realpath /usr/src
/fs/dc/usr-src
$ realpath /usr/lib
/usr/lib
Here is how the symlinks command reports it,
dangling: /fs/dc/usr-src/linux-kbuild-2.6.32 ->
../lib/linux-kbuild-2.6.32
Please install as an absolute symlink, eg,
# ln -s /usr/lib/linux-kbuild-2.6.32 /usr/src/linux-kbuild-2.6.32
Thanks,
Jeffrey Sheinberg

This is not a supported configuration. You should bind-mount
/fs/dc/usr-src to /usr/src instead of using a symlink.

Debian policy ยง10.5 says we should use a relative link here.
