Package: cpp
Version: 4:4.2.1-6
Severity: minor
Tags:
This bug involves more then one package. I'm reporting this on package
cpp, but package gcc contains the link, while package gcc-4.2 is missing the
relevant file. I was unable to report a bug on package gcc since the package
is a dependancy package (but "dpkg -L gcc" lists the dangling link, not cpp).
Problem:
symbolic link /usr/share/doc/cpp/FAQ.gz is pointing
to ../gcc-4.2/FAQ.gz which does not exist.
2 solutions:
- add /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.2-base/FAQ.gz to package gcc-4.2 (like
in gcc-4.1).
- remove symlink from package gcc.
but IMHO:
Cross package symboling links can never be very solid, and are asking
for trouble. So I suspect simply removing the invalid link is the
best solution.

Closes: 453812
Changes:
gcc-defaults (1.64) unstable; urgency=low
.
[Matthias Klose]
* gcc: Remove dangling FAQ symlink. Closes: #453812.
* gij: Update conflict with java-gcj-compat,
provide java*-runtime-headless instead of java*-runtime.
* Depend on the packages of the GCC-4.2.3 release.
* Tighten dependencies for gnat packages.
.
[Ludovic Brenta]
* libgnatvsn-dev, libgnatprj-dev: new packages; depend on the
corresponding packages from gnat-4.3.
* Make gnat-4.3 the default on all architectures.
* gnat: install documentation in /usr/share/doc/gnat; do not symlink
to cpp and do not depend on cpp (Ada does not need a C
preprocessor).
.
[Arthur Loiret]
* gdc: Make gdc-4.2 the default on hurd-i386.
