SOURCE_ENTRY_NOT_ALLOWED: Link or special file not allowed

Severity Fault Stage
error customer (the source package) source package

The source package has an entry that is not a regular file or folder: a symbolic link, a hard link, a device, a FIFO or a GNU long-name record. A link could point outside the package, so none is accepted.

Replace each link with a copy of the file it points to (tar -h follows symlinks), or import the shared file with a relative path.
