    Hi All

    How do I make a package without overwriting symbolic link?

    I build a pkg with /usr/local as the base dir. But in some of my systems
    /usr/local is just a symbolic link to say /opt/local.

    When I install the pkg it breaks the symbolic link and creates a whole
    new /usr/local dir.

    How do I prevent that?

    Thanks for the help
