Question on segv dpkg wrt links in man/man1

[Bart Warmerdam <bartw@xs4all.nl>]

  Hi,

  I have a question:

  I am currently working on a port on csound. In package csound all manuals
  are linked to csound.1.gz. In de archive the csound.1.gz is not the first
  file to be extracted (see below). When installing a package when there is no
  valid link, dpkg segfaults on chown. Is this a problem with dpkg or do i try
  to reorder the man dir in the archive (with tar flags)??? When manually
  copying this file and installing all is well.

  Thanks,

  B.

Example:

drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 1998-11-22 19:46 usr/man/man1/
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 1998-11-22 19:46 usr/man/man1/extract.1.gz ->
csound.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 1998-11-22 19:46 usr/man/man1/extractor.1.gz
-> csound.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 1998-11-22 19:46 usr/man/man1/het_export.1.gz
-> csound.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 1998-11-22 19:46 usr/man/man1/het_import.1.gz
-> csound.1.gz

  ....
