Hi. I hope this question is sent to the right mailing-list.
We're using debian-packages (wheezy) for building our cross-toolchain at work. One issue we're having is that the symlinks added in deb-packages are absolute symlinks. For example the symlink libz.so will look like this: libz.so -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1.2.7 Since we're installing these packages in our toolchain's sysroot and distributing to other targets we need to fix these symlinks so that they are relative instead. That itself is not a big problem. Just another step on the way to produce our toolchain. My question really would be why symlinks in deb-packages are created as absolute instead of relative? Best regards, Tobias Eliasson
