Greetings, I just received bug #141738 against petsc2.1.1-doc saying that links from /usr/share/doc/petsc2.1.1-doc/include are going to /lib/petscdir/2.1.1/include instead of /usr/lib/petscdir/2.1.1/include.
This is really odd, as I made them using dh_link and the links seem correct (../../../.. should be /usr, right?), but indeed, they give file not found errors when I try to inspect the files. But what's *really* bizarre is: cd /usr/share/doc/petsc2.1.1-doc/include ls .. [gives what I'd expect, /usr/share/doc/petsc2.1.1-doc contents] ls ../.. [gives what I'd expect, /usr/share/doc contents] ls ../../.. [gives what I'd expect, /usr/share contents] ls ../../../.. gives not /usr, but root! What's wrong with the system, such that this happens -- for both me and the bug reporter? And why has this changed since I first made the symlinks and tested them, and they worked? I don't think this is a PETSc bug, but something deeper... TIA, -- -Adam P.
