Tag: usr-share-doc-symlink-to-foreign-package
Severity: error
Check: debian/copyright
Explanation: If the package installs a symbolic link
/usr/share/doc/*pkg1* -> *pkg2*
, then *pkg1*
and *pkg2* must both come from the same source package.
.
The best solution is probably to stop symlinking the
/usr/share/doc
directory for this package and instead include a
real /usr/share/doc/*pkg1* directory within *pkg1* with the
appropriate contents (such as the copyright
and
changelog.Debian.gz
files).
