Package: zoneminder FYI, dpkg should not change symlinks to directories or vice versa. Policy 6.6(4) documents this. In my experience, this works as documented, but dpkg does have bugs of course.
Also, I've never used zoneminder, so I don't know what the dirs are for, but from this bug report it sounds like events & images contain important data. But you've symlinked them to /var/cache in the package, which is certainly not a good place to store important data! /var/cache must only be used for things your program can regenerate. To quote the FHS, "The application must be able to regenerate or restore the data. Unlike /var/spool, the cached files can be deleted without data loss." -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
