[Bug 967424] [NEW] Cobbler package silently creates invalid install if /var/www/cobbler directory already exists

[Konrad Scherer]

Public bug reported:

Using version cobbler-2.2.2-0ubuntu21

The install script attempts to create a link from /var/www/cobbler to
/usr/share/cobbler/webroot/cobbler.

My system had a previous manual installation of cobbler with a
/var/www/cobbler directory (not a link). The installer does not create
the link but did not report that the link could not be created. The web
UI did not work properly until I moved the directory and reinstalled the
package.

Perhaps the install should fail if /var/www/cobbler link cannot be
created?
