I have some really hard trouble reproducing this in a small test case, or even understanding how this could possibly hit with perl. The doc /perl-base -> perl symlink wouldn't even be valid in a debian/perl-base/ build tree, as it cannot be resolved. pkgstripfiles just ignores invalid symlinks.
But I'm fairly convinced that this specific instance is a perl specific problem. It does some really nasty manual shell hacks to install documentation (no debhelper at all), and I added a test case with a similar scenario which it handles just fine. ** Changed in: pkgbinarymangler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: pkgbinarymangler (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923430 Title: pkgstripfiles: md5sum incorrect when doc dir is a symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pkgbinarymangler/+bug/923430/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
