# `compressed-symlink-with-wrong-ext`

The package installs a symbolic link pointing to a compressed file, but the symbolic link does not use the same file extension than the referenced file. In most cases, this can produce troubles when the user or a program tries to access the file through the link.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
