Ouch.  Thanks for noticing this Martin.  I did not realize that /sw/ 
share/texmf-local was supposed to be a symlink.  I can change the  
cadabra package so that it no longer clobbers the symlink.  But, I  
wonder what I can put in the package that will actually check for the  
damage and repair it.
