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 --- Tim Pushor Orion Technologies Inc.
