• Re: DEP 17: Improve support for directory aliasing in dpkg (3/3)

    https://git.hadrons.org/git/debian/dpkg/dpkg.git/log/?h=pu/aliasing-workaround

    Also, in case there is any confusion, this is a _partial_ workaround
    that does not cover many of the other badness, such as file overwrites
    and disappearances in other stages of the package life-cycle nor in
    other tools from the dpkg suite, from local packages, or from admin
    initiated changes via supported interfaces.

    I still think all the proposed workarounds are pretty terrible, TBH.

    Thanks,
    Guillem
