Bug#573441: dangling symlink /usr/bin/trash4
Somewhat by accident, I just discovered the dangling symlink
/usr/bin/trash4 -> trash and wondered what it could have possibly been
good for. Here's a short analysis:
Looking at commit aae2e0a2bcd3d090b in the git repository, it seems that
debian/kdebase-runtime.links has a typo and was actually meant to be a
different symlink to a different binary. At least this way it would
have made some sense:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/debian/kdebase-runtime.links b/debian/kdebase-runtime.links
index d731a90..6cb2103 100644
--- a/debian/kdebase-runtime.links
+++ b/debian/kdebase-runtime.links

#compability until we want to Break: plasma-widgets-workspace (<< 4:4.3.3), probably around 4:4.4 or so.
-/usr/bin/trash /usr/bin/trash4
+/usr/bin/ktrash /usr/bin/ktrash4

Since the right symlink was never created, and judging by the comment,
you can probably 'git rm debian/kdebase-runtime.links' instead.
