Zut alors. And I had really, really tested this.
Do you know which version you were upgrading from?

It tests for symlink. But as this shows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> cd /tmp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp> ln -s /var/tmp/ foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp> test -h foo && echo "It's a symlink"
It's a symlink
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp> test -d foo && echo "It's a directory"
It's a directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp>
I guess I need to make sure it is both -h and ! -d.
