Package: libapache-mod-perl
Version: 1.29.0.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When attempting to upgrade the libapache-mod-perl package I received
the following error:
Setting up libapache-mod-perl (1.29.0.1-3) ...
ln: creating symbolic link `usr/lib/perl5/auto/Apache/include' to
`../../../../include/apache-1.3': No such file or directory
This is caused by the post install script assuming that the current
directory is the root directory and in my case it was not. To fix
this a 'cd /' could be added to the post install script thus:
