Hi all, as you know dpkg checks if st_size in structure stat equals the return value for readlink() and if not issues the error message "symbolic link '<foo>' size has changed from X to Y". Why is this check in there? It turns out that there are systems (most notably Android N) for which this relation does not hold. This of course means we cannot have a chroot with Debian or at least none that requires an update.
