Bug#699044: unblock: tiff/4.0.2-6, tiff3/3.9.6-11
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock packages tiff and tiff3
I hope it's okay that I'm including two unblock requests together in one
bug report. The problem applies to both the tiff3 and tiff packages,
and it's exactly the same problem exactly the same fix.
These versions close RC bugs 699041 (tiff3) and 687645 . They fix a small but
important problem: back in 2008, I changed these packages to stop
creating symlinks in /usr/share/doc, but the preinst wasn't properly
removing old symlinks. This could affect people who were upgrading from
etch or people whose systems have been continuously updated since that
time who may still have symlinks for those packages.
Debdiffs attached.
