/usr/share/X11/xkb is supposed to go from a (non-empty) directory in
xkb-date 2.42-1
to a symlink (to a directory) in 2.46-1.

But on my system (on sid) the result is an empty directory
/usr/share/X11/xkb - no error or warning
when using "apt install". When I use "dpkg -i" to install the deb, I get
lots of warnings like
"unable to delete old directory '/usr/share/X11/xkb/compat': Directory not
empty", but the result
is as intended (/usr/share/X11/xkb is a symlink to
/usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2).

Is this a bug in apt?

Cheers, Roderih
