And what about files which are not managed by dpkg? And files of other packages which are not upgraded at the same time? I believe that the files which are left-over at the end (i.e. after dpkg has cleaned up the tree due to the temporary symlink) should be put back in place when there's no conflicting file (they could also have been installed by other packages wich were not yet updated to not use the symlinked directory). > I went ahead and implemented this command, because once having gone > over the failure modes, it was easier to just code it down.
