Package: lintian Version: 2.5.6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, My package cacti replaces an upstream file with a symlink to /etc/cacti/debian.php. This later file is created upon configuration by dbconfig-common. I therefor think this package-contains-broken-symlink is a false positive in that case. Furthermore, in postinst it (tries to) create /usr/local/share/ files. Links in the normal /usr/share/cacti try point to it to provide a place where local administrator can put there files. Again, I believe this is a false positive.
