** Description changed: Axis2/C and Rampart/C traditionally would install into /opt. The Ubuntu packages were made to be FHS compliant, but applications using Axis2/C and Rampart still assumed the old, /opt style directory layout. As a means to make ends meet, a lot of symlinks were added to make things appear in the expected places for everyone. Specifically, I used directory symlinks. Due to the way dpkg deals with this on upgrades, people upgrading from 1.5.0-* to 1.6.0-* ended up with a barely functional package. The only workaround is to remove the package completely and install it again. At the very least, we should start using file-only symlinks, so that upgrades from now on will be painless. - - affects ubuntu/axis2c - assignee soren - importance medium - status inprogress - affects ubuntu/rampart - assignee soren - importance medium - status inprogress
