Description Andrei Slavoiu 2020-03-15 18:03:53 UTC

After install, the symlink points to:
# ls -l /usr/share/arduino/arduino-builder 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 mar 15 16:29 /usr/share/arduino/arduino-builder -> ../../../bin/arduino-builder
# ls -l /usr/share/arduino/../../../bin/arduino-builder
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/arduino/../../../bin/arduino-builder': No such file or directory

The correct path contains only 2 ".."
# ls -l /usr/share/arduino/../../bin/arduino-builder
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13972853 mar 15 16:26 /usr/share/arduino/../../bin/arduino-builder

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Robert Forsman 2020-04-29 16:39:30 UTC

I worked around this using

cd /usr/share/arduino
rm arduino-builder;ln -s ../../bin/arduino-builder

But clearly it would be better if the symlink were correct at install time.
