03 / ORIGINAL ISSUE TEXT

zeek/zeek #3266 · read the original issue

It seems that our binary packages, at least for zeek-6.0.0 and debian-11 miss a softlink of `<PREFIX>/share/btest/data` to `<PREFIX>/share/zeek/tests`. We have an explicit install rule for that, https://github.com/zeek/zeek/blob/4b71b7d05c7fad7bd2c2619471a836a142d8edf2/testing/CMakeLists.txt#L12-L18



This leads to packages relying on support files like `random.seed` or `Scripts/canonify-zeek-log` to be in this path to fail, e.g., a user reported that he was unable to install `zeek/spicy-ldap` in his system with Zeek from packages while our CI was ✅ (our CI uses Docker images which have these files).



We should either install this softlink in packages as well, or alternatively get rid of it completely in our CMake setup so both installations methods are more similar.
