Package: slib Version: 3a5-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package uninstallable
As the policy says:
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.
So even though the 3a5-1 package contains an (incorrect) symlink at
/usr/share/slib/init
after an upgrade from 3a4-4 /usr/share/slib/init remains a (now empty)
directory.
This means that even if the symlink in the package was correct,
upgrade would still fail with
ERROR: Unable to find file "slib/init/guile.init" in load path
