However, the request is to be able to have a link outside /usr/share/doc: > lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2018-04-29 17:06 > ./usr/share/doc/octave-zeromq/examples -> > ../../octave/packages/zeromq-1.3.0/examples The difference between these two situations is cause of the confusion here. I don't think it's unreasonable to have symlinks outside /u/s/doc (and was trying to do so today to help users find the examples that pymol-data is shipping inside /usr/share/pymol/examples). cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7
