[Bug 374621] Re: simlink in .deb blocks pakage creation

[mike]

sloppy first description

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: ia32-libs-tools
+ Ok, i wasn't very clear. Reedit
  
  i was trying to convert libqt4-webkit_4.5.0-0ubuntu4_i386.deb in to
  amd64
  
  http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libqt4-webkit/download
  
- it contains a simlink to a change log, and it doesn't give the full path.
- ../libqtcore4/changelog.Debian.gz
+ it contains a simlink to a change log, and tryes to read and edit the
+ "file"
  
- and dpkg-parsechangelog gives up
+ line 79
  
- i think further down it want's to add it self in the changlog with dch ,
- and of course it doesn't work either
+ SRCVERSION=$(cd ../.. && dpkg-parsechangelog | grep-dctrl "" -s Version
+ -n)
  
- i deleted the pathological section that blocks the rest, but when i
- tried to run dpkg-buildpackage the same error with dpkg-parsechangelog
- prompts again. But you what to convert only one pakage at a time, wthout
- building at the same time all his dependencies, as the original
- packager.
+ asumes that the file can be read,  it fails because its a link.
+ 
+ later line 85-123
+ 
+ if [ -L "usr/share/doc/$PKG" ]; then 
+ ....
+ else
+ ....
+ fi
+ 
+ takes in to account that the folder is a link or not. After it assumed
+ it could read it.

** Changed in: ia32-libs-tools (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => New
