AI Summary: The task is to debug and fix a bug in the nfpm Go package where creating a symlink within an RPM package results in a negative timestamp. The issue manifests as a future-dated file timestamp after installation, triggering warnings in some Intrusion Detection Systems. The solution requires investigating the Go code of nfpm, identifying the source of the incorrect timestamp generation during symlink creation within the RPM packaging process, and implementing a fix to ensure accurate timestamp representation.
