Hi,

I've just found this bug and I must say is a real pain for vendors
which package stuff which installs in /opt.
I also found an easy way to reproduce the bug. See the bottom of this
message for details.
As a test one of the guys at work made /opt a symlink and we observed
that, although other directories were present in /opt, after the
removal of any of the
packages that has files in /opt, the symlink is gone somewhere right
after or during prerm.
I would only expect that to happen when the last package owning /opt
is removed. But that much sounds believable, which makes this sound
like a good reason to add /opt to base-files. Santiago, what do you
think?
Hmm, do you mean the change made in 2.2.14 is not enough?
/opt is created by default on every new install since Debian 3.0.
It is not part of the package itself to give users the freedom to remove
it if they wish and not see it recreated at every base-files upgrade, as
no part of Debian needs it.
If you remove it but you still need it, why do you blame base-files?
I don't see why this is reported as a bug against base-files.
