https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196435 --- Comment #4 from Jan Beich <jbeich@vfemail.net> --- This bug is about user-modified target_file. How the file was modified isn't limited to content but includes differnt filetypes as well such as being replaced by a symlink. It usually happens after package install but before deinstall. Here're steps to reproduce: 1/ install a port with @sample in pkg-plist 2/ replace target_file with a symlink to sample_file 3/ deinstall the port 4/ notice target_file now a symlink disappeared as well or 1/ find a port with @sample in pkg-plist 2/ create matching empty config but without .sample suffix 3/ swap it with a symlink 4/ install the port 5/ notice symlink destination is no longer empty -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
