Public bug reported:
When doing "apt full-upgrade" it fails because the symbolic link:
"/var/www/html/mythweb/mythweb -> /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/" already exists.
If I delete the symbolic link "/var/www/html/mythweb/mythweb" and do an "apt
full-upgrade" again it works and creates the above link.
Next time it fails again because the link is (of course!) there.
I would expect that it would check if there is a link and handle it gracefully
(e.g. overwrite).
Btw this issue has been there for a long time, I just didn't report it until
now (because I thought it would go away).
