compressed-symlink-with-wrong-ext
The package installs a symbolic link pointing to a compressed file, but the symbolic link does not use the same file extension than the referenced file. In most cases, this can produce troubles when the user or a program tries to access the file through the link.
For more information please consult:
- Symbolic links (Section 10.5) in the Debian Policy Manual
