Bug#705957: libclang-common-dev: Empty /usr/include/clang/3.2/include directory after upgrade

[Robert Luberda]

Package: libclang-common-dev
Version: 1:3.2repack-1~exp4
Severity: important

Hi,

The latest versions of the package ships /usr/include/clang/3.2/include
as a symlink, but previous versions used to ship it as a regular
directory. Since dpkg never replaces a directory with a symlink, this
result in empty /usr/include/clang/3.2/include after upgrade:

	[36]/> ls -la /usr/include/clang/3.2/include
	total 8
	drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 kwi 21 23:45 ./
	drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 gru 18 09:10 ../ 

which in turn causes clang failures like that one below:

	/tmp/x.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'stddef.h' file not found
	#include <stddef.h>
        	 ^
	1 error generated.

The same issue exists for /usr/lib/clang/3.2/lib.


Please either handle the directory to symlink migration in your
maintainer scripts or (which I think would be better) change clang
to use the new /usr/lib/llvm-3.2/lib/clang/3.2/{include,lib} paths
directly.

Regards,
robert
