[Fink-devel] Fink removed /etc

[Andrea R. <ari...@pi...>]

Hi,
I was working on a package that I maintain when I noticed that a file 
was installed in /etc instead of /sw/etc. The problem was related to my 
poor understanding of python distutils, nevertheless when I tried to 
remove the package to fix my error fink removed the /etc that in fact 
is sym-link to /private/etc.

Runnning Disk Utility recreated /etc sym-link, but I was wondering why 
fink removed the link and not only the file that my package put there. 
Here there is the wrong package content:

drwxr-xr-x root/admin        0 2004-11-16 11:17:37 ./etc/
-rw-r--r-- root/admin     1666 2004-01-18 16:29:44 ./etc/pyxrc
drwxr-xr-x root/admin        0 2004-11-16 11:17:37 ./sw/
...

Now that I've fixed it those line read:

drwxr-xr-x root/admin        0 2004-11-16 14:40:12 ./sw/
drwxr-xr-x root/admin        0 2004-11-16 14:40:06 ./sw/etc/
-rw-r--r-- root/admin     1666 2004-01-18 16:29:44 ./sw/etc/pyxrc
...

Could you explain me why this happens?

Thanks in advance,
   Andrea.
