I'm not yet convinced that I can agree with that. Please retitle it or change the severity or even tag it as wontfix but it had been assigned to dpkg for a reason. Or is there another bug report regarding this issue? One should at least be kept open for reference to both users and maintainers! It's common that admins replace directories with symlinks to relocate big chunks of data to a different partition without mounting a whole partition to this directory or using bind mounts which are not so known among admins. So dpkg should not simply delete a symlink to a directory that still contains files. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
