Coin,I'm just back to Hurd after a while of sleep, so don't be too harsh if i'm going wrong.
I created a KVM host using Azeem's qemu image, and upgraded to unstable. Then i wanted to start working on some packaging stuff while dpkg-source failed strangely, and i noticed extracting tarball containing relative symlink ended up with empty files in place of symlinks. Listing the content of the archive properly lists symlinks. Copying the tarball onto a Linux machine and extracting works. Creating symlinks, a tarball of them, and extracting again, works. The archive i was formerly working on was the parted tarball got using apt-get source.
Doing a new upgrade i also noticed this : Setting up libncurses5 (5.7+20090510-1) ... ldconfig: /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2 is not a symbolic link ldconfig: /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2 is not a symbolic link And indeed there is a problem:lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18 May 11 11:16 /usr/lib/libldap-2.4.so.2 -> libldap_r-2.4.so.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 245396 Jul 8 2008 /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 245400 Jul 8 2008 /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2.0.6 So it seems to be a package extraction problem similar to the above.I couldn't find anything about it on the list or elsewhere. Could someone help me ?
Thanks. -- Marc Dequènes (Duck)
