Turning around a symlink



Hi,

I have a problem with gnome-users-guide-en

in the current version 1.2-1, there is a symlink 

/usr/share/doc/gnome-users-guide-en/html ->
/usr/share/gnome/help/users-guide/C 

dwww won't follow this symlink, so I turned it around in 1.2-2 to read

/usr/share/gnome/help/users-guide/C ->
/usr/share/doc/gnome-users-guide-en/html

But there is a problem with up- and downgrading the package.  The link
won't change. The version installed first, determines the direction of
the link, it doesn't change on up- and downgrade.

Is this a bug/limitation in dpkg?

If it is, I guess I can make 
/usr/share/gnome/help/users-guide/C ->
/usr/share/doc/gnome-users-guide-en/guide or suchsome.

You can get version 1.2-2 from 
ftp://ftp.internet-treff.uni-koeln.de/pub/debian/gnome-users-guide-en_1.2-2_all.deb 
to try it yourself.

Ciao,
        Martin
