[Tts-project] Bug#995037: speech-dispatcher: systemd service symlink placed in wrong directory

[Paul Wise]

Package: speech-dispatcher
Version: 0.10.2-3
Severity: minor
Usertags: usrmerge

On systems that do not yet have usrmerge applied, there is a broken
symlink because a symlink to the systemd service has been placed in the
wrong directory, it is in /lib but should be in /usr/lib in the same
directory as the systemd service file.

I've filed this as minor since it just means a broken symlink is in the
package and has no other consequences. The symlink doesn't even appear
to be needed because the Alias value in the speech-dispatcherd.service
file takes care of allowing the user to specify speech-dispatcher as
the service name in addition to speech-dispatcherd.

Looking at the source package you just need to delete the links file:

   debian/speech-dispatcher.links
   
Here is some debug information about this situation:

   $ adequate speech-dispatcher
   speech-dispatcher: broken-symlink /lib/systemd/system/speech-dispatcher.service -> speech-dispatcherd.service
   
   $ chase /lib/systemd/system/speech-dispatcher.service

   $ ls -l /lib/systemd/system/speech-dispatcher.service

   $ readlink /lib/systemd/system/speech-dispatcher.service
   speech-dispatcherd.service
   
   $ ls -l /lib/systemd/system/speech-dispatcherd.service
   ls: cannot access '/lib/systemd/system/speech-dispatcherd.service': No such file or directory
