Hi all,

So, here's a strange one.  I'm trying to install tcltk, plus -dev and  
-shlibs.  All 3 build fine, and all but tcltk-dev install correctly.   
The -dev package fails to install and says

  error creating hard link `./Volumes/star1.lns.mit.edu/STAR/opt/star/ 
osx48_i386_gcc401/share/man/man3/Tcl_DeleteChannelHandler.3': No such  
file or directory

where /Volumes/.../gcc401/ is the root of my Fink install.  Now, if I  
look in the .deb this file is a hard link to Tcl_CreateChannelHandler.3:

hr--r--r-- root/admin        0 2007-01-04 19:24 ./Volumes/ 
star1.lns.mit.edu/STAR/opt/star/osx48_i386_gcc401/share/man/man3/ 
Tcl_DeleteChannelHandler.3 link to ./Volumes/star1.lns.mit.edu/STAR/ 
opt/star/osx48_i386_gcc401/share/man/man3/Tcl_CreateChannelHandler.3

CreateChannelHandler is a real file in the .deb and it gets installed  
just fine.  I can't figure out why dpkg thinks there's a problem, but  
then again I'm no Debian pro.  If I extract the contents of the .deb  
into a test directory everything comes out fine.

I try to hack my way around by:

1)  extract .deb
2)  rm DeleteChannelHandler
3)  cp CreateChannelHandler DeleteChannelHandler
4)  dpkg --build
5)  dpkg --install

That removes the error in question, but then it goes on to other  
files.  In the end I do this for

Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler.3 (Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler.3)
Tk_SetWindowBackgroundPixmap.3 (Tk_ChangeWindowAttributes.3)
Tk_SetWindowBorderPixmap.3 (Tk_ChangeWindowAttributes.3)

And now tcltk-dev is listed as installed.  What happened here?   
Should I file a bug report?  Thanks,

Adam
