Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2017-03-07 20:26:50 UTC 
nfdump installs a broken symlink README to README.md into /usr/share/doc/nfdump-1.6.15/.

It seems that this file was previously named README and is now called README.md in upstream's distribution and upstream has a symlink. As the ebuild doesn't install README.md it creates a broken symlink.

I think we don't need to install the symlink and should change it to README.md. Also there's a symlink from NEWS to Changelog which gets installed, I'd suggest removing that.

So the ebuild would change like this:
--- nfdump-1.6.15.ebuild	2017-03-07 20:41:58.101920809 +0100
+++ nfdump-1.6.15-r1.ebuild	2017-03-07 20:42:21.661919045 +0100
