Bug#163988: libc6: hardlinks acress directories in tar archive

[Joerg Sommer <joerg@alea.gnuu.de>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.2.5-14.3
Severity: important

Hi,

I want to install Debian on AFS, but AFS doesn't support hard links
across directories. So libc6 isn't installable and the whole system, too.

dpkg --fsys-tarfile libc6_2.2.5-14.3.deb | LANG=C tar vt | grep 'link to'

Could you replace these hard links by symlinks? Or tell how can I remove
these from the package at installation time?

Joerg.
