Public bug reported: I believe one of the Adobe upgrade packages caused my </opt> directory to be unlinked. Usually I symlink this directory to a path on another partition </opt => /home/opt>, something I've done since Ubuntu 8 series. After doing an upgrade today that link was lost and in its place was a new </opt> with contents </opt/Adobe/Reader9>. So I assume it is acroread which broke it.
I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 with the Muon update manager, but I suspect it isn't related to those components. I've attached a screenshot showing the other packages updated at the same time.
