Bug#857533: python-vtk6: broken symlink: /usr/lib/<triplet>/python2.7/site-packages/vtk -> ../../../python2.7/dist/packages/vtk

Package: python-vtk6
Version: 6.3.0+dfsg1-3
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package ships (or creates)
a broken symlink.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

13m29.4s ERROR: FAIL: Broken symlinks:
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python2.7/site-packages/vtk -> ../../../python2.7/dist/packages/vtk
                                                                                  ^

You probably wanted to target .../python2.7/dist-packages/vtk
                                                ^

Severity serious, since I assume that this may break the python
stuff in subtle ways.


cheers,

Andreas
