Thanks for the patch, I'm uploading a package with something similar now. Some notes: o I ran the code in the preinst because it seems obvious to me that the earlier we can get rid of the symlink the better. o Using readlink -f is wrong - we're looking for a very specific dangling symlink and we don't actually want to canonicalise it as that'll break in certain circumstances (e.g. if you have /usr -> /x/usr like I do). -- James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
