Hi mentors, I'm preparing the linuxbrew package for Debian [1], and found it hard to remove 2 troublesome symlinks from upstream source.
Lintian complains that E: linuxbrew source: source-contains-unsafe-symlink Library/ENV/pkgconfig/fuse/fuse.pc They are: ~/hdd/debian/linuxbrew/Library/ENV/pkgconfig/fuse$ file * fuse.pc: broken symbolic link to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc osxfuse.pc: broken symbolic link to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/osxfuse.pc So I followed [2] adding a dquilt patch to remove them. However dquilt just gave adding the deadlink. $ dquilt add Library/ENV/pkgconfig/fuse/fuse.pc Cannot add symbolic link Library/ENV/pkgconfig/fuse/fuse.pc Man quilt says quilt add has just one option available: -P patchPatch to add files to. Goswin von Brederlow > It is probably better to simply remove the Goswin von Brederlow > files in the clean target. However I tried it and it doesn't prevent this lintian source ERROR. Any idea to handle this situation properly? Thanks :-) [1] http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/cdluminate-guest/linuxbrew.git/ [2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/06/msg00000.html
