Bug#309008: another dir vs. symlink problem

[Julian Gilbey <jdg@polya.uklinux.net>]

On Florent's request, I'm currently building a fixed tetex-base
package with this fix in it.  So that these sorts of things can be
fixed for release, please can we avoid tampering with the main
branches of the tetex-* CVS repositories; it seems silly to have a
separate branch just for this release when 3.0 is waiting in the wings
for post-sarge.

Thanks,

   Julian
