Package: bacula
Version: 3.0.2-3
Severity: normal
Upgrade from 2.4.4-1 tries to replace the /usr/share/doc/bacula
directory with a symlink, apparently just by having it as a symlink in the
new package, without any other preparations.
As policy 6.6 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.
The end result after the upgrade is an empty directory instead of a symlink.
