Because of leftovers here, I used to think you were right, but bpydata (under scripts/) actually points to ../bpydata. Rationale for this is that (contrary to bpymodules) these files should be writable, that's why I'm not symlinking to /usr/share/…, but rather copying them from there to ~/.blender/bpydata when there's a new upstream version, eventually creating a backup in ~/.blender/bpydata-$(VERSION) if needed. I feared (in my first answer) than it could be possible to have a link from ~/.blender/bpydata/bpydata to the parent directory, but I haven't been able to reproduce it with the upgrade tests I've just made, upgrading from 2.45-1 to 2.45-3 directly, or with an intermediate step with 2.45-2. Do you have such a recursive symlink, or was it just an impression you initially had? Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
