Just to clarify, when I have a package a which contains a directory b
and I release a new version from it in which I've replaced directory b
with a symlink, the user who upgrades package a from old version doesn't
get a symlink b but an empty directory b.
Assuming the directory b contained a l
I'd disagree on the severity of this bug.
Tried to create a package with a compatibility symlinks on legacy
pathnames. That proved to be a poor idea, since now I'm getting empty
directories on legacy pathnames instead of symlinks when upgrading the
packages.
No even a warning about this and
severity 406715 normal
retitle 406715 dpkg should warn the user when there's a dir/symlink mismatch
between the package and the system
thanks

Hi,
the same problem happens, when a directory is replaced by a symlink
during the upgrade of a package. I am attaching 2 versions of the
