[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#815174: staden: Missing links in /usr/bin

[Kerstin Hoef-Emden]

Package: staden
Version: 2.0.0+b10-1.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to convert *.ab1 files to *.exp files with pregap4, which failed
with an error message that eba could not be found. I copied an eba from the sourceforge download bay into /usr/bin and retried
conversion of the ABI chromatograms. The error message concerning eba was
gone, instead conversion failed because of a missing init_exp command.
Thereafter I had a closer look into /usr/bin and realized that the staden
parts were links to /usr/lib/staden/bin, but of the multiple files in
the sourceforge package, only pregap, gap4, gap5, trev and spin had such a link.

I thus, created the missing links by hand and conversion worked out. The
files could be opened and assembled with gap4. Working furtheron with the
files, however, is still hampered by another problem, which I suspect to be
of a different kind, thus will be subject to a separate bug report.

Kerstin
