Probably because dpkg installed over the symlink? In any case this looks like a case for a reinstall. Or apt install --reinstall fun after you fixed the system and reinstalled the essential utilities from there (and be it dpkg --root= or deb-deb -x playing). In any case still no bug anywhere here except in your symlinking back then. Regards, Rene
