[Bug 1089402] Re: qemu-utils installs dangling symlink in precise

[Serge Hallyn]

** Description changed:

  $ ll /usr/share/man/man8/kvm-nbd.8 /usr/share/man/man8/qemu-nbd.8
  ls: cannot access /usr/share/man/man8/qemu-nbd.8: No such file or directory
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Okt  4 02:44 /usr/share/man/man8/kvm-nbd.8 -> qemu-nbd.8
  $ dpkg -S /usr/share/man/man8/kvm-nbd.8
  qemu-utils: /usr/share/man/man8/kvm-nbd.8
+ 
+ ============================
+ SRU Justification:
+ 1. Impact: man pages for kvm-nbd and kvm-img are bad links.
+ 2. Development fix: the current raring release fixes the symlink by removing it.
+ 3. Stable fix: the fix for precise is to fix the symlinks
+ 4. Test case: man kvm-nbd; man kvm-img
+ 5. Regression potential: none
+ ============================

  SRU Justification:
  1. Impact: man pages for kvm-nbd and kvm-img are bad links.
- 2. Development fix: the current raring release fixes the symlink by removing it.
- 3. Stable fix: the fix for precise is to fix the symlinks
+ 2. Development fix: the raring source fixes the symlinks by pointing them at the .gz files.  (committed to VCS - the package in archive simply does not have the links for either programs or manpages)
+ 3. Stable fix: the fix for precise is to fix the symlinks, same as in raring (in VCS)
  4. Test case: man kvm-nbd; man kvm-img
  5. Regression potential: none
