Package: nano
Version: 1.2.4-2
Severity: important
Tags: sid

Latest nano upload (1.2.4-2) makes nano unusable on most GNU/Hurd
systems, which is quite annoying since it is the only editor installed
by default. This is due to this ChangeLog entry:

  * debian/links: provide a compatibility symlink /usr/bin/nano ->
  * /bin/nano.

Many (probably most) Debian GNU/Hurd systems do not have a real /usr
directory, but instead /usr is a link to ".". That makes /bin/nano and
/usr/bin/nano the same file. Consequently, installing nano on these
systems give something like :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /bin/nano 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root root 9 Jan 12 15:21 /bin/nano -> /bin/nano

.. which is not very usable ;-)
