[Bug 312730] Re: etckeeper fails to upgrade to 0.22

[Daniel Hahler]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: etckeeper
  
  During updating Jaunty, etckeeper fails to upgrade.
+ 
+ This appears to be a problem with pycentral, where some directory already exists (as (dangling) symlink):
+ $ ls -ld /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/plugins/etckeeper
+ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 2008-06-08 13:56 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/plugins/etckeeper -> /home/user/ubuntu/etckeeper/git/etckeeper
+ 
+ My workaround has been to manually remove the dangling symlink
+ (/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/plugins/etckeeper), which has
+ been created probably when I installed etckeeper from upstream git
+ manually(?!)..
+
