Solving this means that you have to remove the content of the whole directory which is conflicting with the target symlink. Is this really the desired result? Let's assume that the directory is "plugins" and contains custom plugins added by the application we're packaging... we clearly would like to preserve those custom plugins and not replace them by the default set of plugins shipped by the official packaged version of that directory. So the right answer might well be to not replace the directory but to recurse into the symlink contained in the original package. I don't really have the time/motivation to work on dh-linktree so it would be nice if you could try to provide patches for those issues. The package is in collab-maint so that anyone can help. :-) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Support Debian LTS: http://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html Learn to master Debian: http://debian-handbook.info/get/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
