This is documented behaviour. See section 6.6 (4) of Debian Policy: "A directory will never be replaced by a symbolic link to a directory or vice versa; instead, the existing state (symlink or not) will be left alone and `dpkg' will follow the symlink if there is one." --bod -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
