[Bug 799013] Re: package zoneminder 1.24.2-7ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package zoneminder is already installed and configured

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Checking the log gives this error as the root cause. It looks like
something on purpose by the package so maybe not a problem but I'll
reassign it anyway.

Preparing to replace zoneminder 1.24.2-7ubuntu1 (using
.../zoneminder_1.24.2-8ubuntu1_amd64.deb) ...

Stopping ZoneMinder: success


Aborting installation of zoneminder due to non-default symlinks in

/usr/share/zoneminder for the images and/or events directory, which
could

result in loss of data. Please move your data in each of these
directories to

/var/cache/zoneminder before installing zoneminder from the package.

dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/zoneminder_1.24.2-8ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):

 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => zoneminder (Ubuntu)
