Hello,

When you install for the first time courier-pop-ssl you can find those
two files in your system :

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 f�v 17 22:45 /usr/lib/courier/pop3d.pem
-> /etc/courier/pop3d.pem

-rw------- 1 root root 2,1K f�v 17 22:45 /etc/courier/pop3d.pem


Suppose now that you accidently break your system with following
command :

rm -f /usr/lib/courier/pop3d.pem /etc/courier/pop3d.pem

=> the package no longer works.

I tought it was possible to restore it with command

dpkg-reconfigure courier-pop-ssl

BUT when I launch it creates only the file 

-rw------- 1 daemon root 2,1K f�v 17 22:56 /usr/lib/courier/pop3d.pem
(not a symbolic link ... a real file)

In other words the installation create the file /etc/courier/pop3d.pem
and the symlink /usr/lib/courier/pop3d.pem and the reconfigure only
creates a real file /usr/lib/courier/pop3d.pem without symlink.

It's far from beeing a big bug but "dpkg-reconfigure" is supposed to do
the same things as the installation 

Friendly Regards

Thibault
