More significantly, our test suite no longer reproduces the other bug. The three tests mentioned earlier all create links with missing symlink targets in source packages, but do not FTBFS (or perhaps succeed now for unrelated reasons). ln -s nonexistent "$DIR/debian/tests/broken" I attached one of the packages for you. > not sure if this is the same bug or just a similar one: > lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 9 Jul 3 16:07 debian/munin.service -> /dev/null As for Holger's package, Lintian also flags that condition. Source packages can be unpacked anywhere. We likewise consider absolute symlink targets unacceptable there. W: munin source: absolute-symbolic-link-target-in-source debian/munin.service -> /dev/null Hope this helps! Kind regards Felix Lechner
