Package: libfoundry-1-1
Version: 1.1~rc-1
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 + manuals
Forwarded: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/foundry/-/issues/29
To reproduce: install manuals and libadwaita-1-doc. Run Manuals. Look in
the "Debian GNU/Linux" folder in the sidebar.
Expected result: one instance of Adw-1 in the sidebar
Actual result: multiple duplicates
This is because we install symlinks to the libadwaita documentation in
various places, to make sure that tools (and users) can find it where
they would expect to look; and libfoundry does not de-duplicate them.
I've opened an issue upstream, see link above.
Upstream previously tried to deduplicate, but the deduplication was done
at the wrong level of the hierarchy and so was ineffective. I've opened
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/foundry/-/merge_requests/27 with another
attempt, but it needs some help with cache invalidation.
