** Description changed:
[Impact / Justification]
- While probably mostly cosmetic (how often to people link directly to NSS
modules anyway?), shipping a -dev symlink to a non-existent library is poor
form, at best, and could potentially break or confuse some esoteric build
system at worst.
+ While probably mostly cosmetic (how often do people link directly to NSS
modules anyway?), shipping a -dev symlink to a non-existent library is poor
form, at best, and could potentially break or confuse some esoteric build
system at worst.
[Test Case]
debdiff the old and new libc6-dev to note that the offending symlink is no
longer shipped.
[Regression Potential]
Very low. Just removing a single symlink to nowhere.
[Original Report]
The package libc6-dev in precise installs a dangling symlink.
$ ll /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_db.so
