Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.23 Severity: important Hi During the T&S-Stage of the NM-process i found a weird problem with dpkg: Assume you have a package (revision 1) with 2 directories which contain the same data. You now want to change in revision 2 that directory 2 is just a symlink to directory 1. But after the upgrade from revision 1 to revision 2, directory 2 wont be a symlink, but a empty!!! directory. (When installing revision 2 without the revision 1 installed previously, everything works as expected.) My Application Manager, Marc Brockschmidt wrote a simple package to demonstrate this issue, see the attached file.
