• Bug#1099464: lz4: `lz4c` Softlink Missing

    From Leo L. Schwab@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 3 21:40:01 2025
    Package: lz4
    Version: 1.10.0-3
    Severity: normal

    Dear Maintainer,

    The softlink /usr/bin/lz4c -> /usr/bin/lz4 is no longer present.
    Some utilities -- notably the Yocto build system -- assume it's present,
    and will abort almost immediately if it's not.

    This softlink disappeared with the new upstream release from 1.9.x to 1.10.0. Neither the Debian changelog nor upstream's release notes make
    any mention of this change, which makes it a little puzzling.

    Hi Leo,

    Thank you for letting me know.
    I switched the build tool from autotools to CMake, and CMake had lz4c
    setting removed.
    This is the cause. I will fix this.

    Best regards,
    Nobuhiro
