Bug Description

I can't tell if the script - update-boinc-applinks is still useful/needed. Per the man page it was written only for Debian BOINC.

AFAICT today it checks for this directory: /usr/share/boinc-apps/info/, which doesn't exist when boinc is installed, and then exits.

From what I can see it's the only python use in boinc-client/manager so by itself is causing it to bring in python2 (which is longer installed by default in Ubuntu).

This bug was fixed in the package boinc - 7.9.3+dfsg-5

---------------
boinc (7.9.3+dfsg-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Upload to unstable
  * Drop update-boinc-applinks, useless now?
    - lets re-evaluate the situation in case somebody complains (LP: #1765576)
