Subject:   Trouble with pkg_delete & sym links to dirs

Hello,

I have software which I am creating pkg_* compatible packages for and am
having a bit of problems with symbolic links to directories during the
pkg_delete process.

I had a problem with files being symlinked but solved it by making sure
the symlink got installed/deinstall before the file it referenced. I tried
this with the symlinked dir and it did not help. I still get:

Attempting to delete /opt/test/dir2 as a file
... blah ...

Does anybody know how to properly do this or a possible workaround? I am
using FreeBSD-2.2.2-RELEASE

Thanks,
Tim
