Package: linux-kbuild-2.6.32
Version: 2.6.32-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

The symlink,
    
    /usr/src/linux-kbuild-2.6.32

was installed as a dangling symlink, because on my system /usr/src/ is
not on the same filesystem as /usr/lib/,

    $ realpath /usr/src
    /fs/dc/usr-src

    $ realpath /usr/lib
    /usr/lib

Here is how the symlinks command reports it,

    dangling: /fs/dc/usr-src/linux-kbuild-2.6.32 ->
    ../lib/linux-kbuild-2.6.32

Please install as an absolute symlink, eg,

    # ln -s /usr/lib/linux-kbuild-2.6.32 /usr/src/linux-kbuild-2.6.32

Thanks,

Jeffrey Sheinberg

This is not a supported configuration.  You should bind-mount
/fs/dc/usr-src to /usr/src instead of using a symlink.

Debian policy §10.5 says we should use a relative link here.
