Bug#985490: unblock: flamerobin/0.9.3.6-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package flamerobin
Version 0.9.3.6-2 fixes a serious bug in handling dir->symlink and symlink->dir
migration when the package is upgraded from stable
(https://bugs.debian.org/985289). Full source debdiff attached.
First I confirmed that the problem is present: removed the package, installed
stable version (0.9.3~+20160512.c75f8618-2), upgraded to testing version
(0.9.3.6-1), noted /usr/share/doc/flamerobin/html is still a symlink to
/usr/share/flamerobin/docs instead of the reverse.
Then I tested whether the new package fixes the problem: removed the package
again, installed the stable version and upgraded to the proposed version
(0.9.3.6-2). /usr/share/doc/flamerobin/html now is a directory, and
/usr/share/flamerobin/docs is a symlink to it. This is the wanted state, and
this is what happens if the proposed version is installed anew.
I also checked that the small in-built documentation browser still finds its
docs.
