Package: base-files
Version: 13.5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have tried to upgrade of package to newest version but I have error message:
"The base-files package cannot be installed because /bin is a symbolic link and 
not pointing to usr/bin exactly. This is an unexpected situation. Cannot 
proceed with the upograde."
I have checked the preintst script and found the problem. The checking of 
existing /bin symlink with the readlink command results the correct /usr/bin 
path but in the preinst script the comparison is made to "usr/bin" instead, 
therefore compariosn result is false and I receive the above quoted error 
message.
The preinst script should have been corrected in line 9 to make comparison 
between result of readlink and "/usr/$d" instead of "usr/$d".
