Hi mentors,
I'm preparing the linuxbrew package for Debian [1],
and found it hard to remove 2 troublesome symlinks from upstream
source.
Lintian complains that
E: linuxbrew source: source-contains-unsafe-symlink
Library/ENV/pkgconfig/fuse/fuse.pc
They are:
~/hdd/debian/linuxbrew/Library/ENV/pkgconfig/fuse$ file *
fuse.pc: broken symbolic link to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc
osxfuse.pc: broken symbolic link to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/osxfuse.pc
So I followed [2] adding a dquilt patch to remove them.
However dquilt just gave adding the deadlink.
$ dquilt add Library/ENV/pkgconfig/fuse/fuse.pc
Cannot add symbolic link Library/ENV/pkgconfig/fuse/fuse.pc
Man quilt says
quilt add
has just one option available:
-P patchPatch to add files to.
Goswin von Brederlow > It is probably better to simply remove the
Goswin von Brederlow > files in the clean target.
However I tried it and it doesn't prevent this lintian source ERROR.
Any idea to handle this situation properly?
Thanks :-)
