** Description changed:

  The upgrade failed when upgrading form hardy to jaunty.  I unfortunately
  closed the terminal window before realizing it was giving me an option
  to report it as a bug like this.  Sorry.

  Title: package courier-imap-ssl 4.4.0-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade:
  Uname: Linux 2.6.27-14-generic i686

+ 
+ Update: I looked into the attached terminal log, and noticed the error
+ about "too many symlinks".  This may have been caused by how I had
+ previously manually backed up the imapd.pem file.  I believe I may have
+ created a symlink myself and then maybe this threw off the package
+ script on the update.  Here are the files on my system:
+ 
+ -rw------- 1 daemon root 2133 2009-07-04 01:14 imapd.pem
+ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root   root   22 2009-03-08 23:27 imapd.pem.bak -> /etc/courier/imap
+ 
+ So it makes sense why it thinks there are too many levels of symlinks.
+ I just can't remember if I had something to do with the pre-arrangement
+ of the files/symlink before the package update, or if it did this on its
+ own.
+ 
+ One thing that could be done, however, would be for the script to check
+ whether the symlink is pointing to the target file the script is trying
+ to work on, that way it avoids this infinite recursion.
