Description Rob Frost CLA 2007-05-10 09:55:45 EDT 
I was testing out APT behavior when you set the generated src dir to a value that conflicts with an existing src entry and found the following issues:

-if the specific value exactly matches an existing src entry, it simply uses that without complaint; I had expected an error in this case.

-if the generated src dir is nested underneath an existing src dir, the APT logic will automatically add the necessary exclusion pattern to the containing entry, however, if a pattern that covers the generated src dir already exists, APT still adds an additional exclusion pattern.

(note: I had expected some type of warning or notification when I specified a nested generated src dir rather than the silent addition of the exclusion pattern)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
