I have a small / partition, and /usr on a separate larger partition. So I have /opt symlinked to /usr/local, to keep all the application files under /usr and off of /.
Did a large upgrade today, first upgrading to pacman 3.0.5-2. Things were broken after the upgrade, discovered it was because /opt was no longer a symlink but now a directory. Any upgraded /opt stuff was now in this new directory, but un-upgraded /opt stuff was still in /usr/local. Changed /opt back to a symlink, tried to re-install some of the /opt packages starting with jre, right away /opt is back to a directory. Downgraded to pacman 3.0.4-2, problem stopped happening. Now I'm wondering if I had any other symlinks on my system that might have been clobbered as well...!! Bug report filed here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7484 Make free worldwide PC-to-PC calls.
