Package: node-acorn
Version: 6.0.2+20181021git007b08d01eff070+ds+~0.3.1+~4.0.0+~0.3.0+~5.0.0+ds+~1.6.1+ds-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' fails.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

Is it trying to install a file over an existing, broken directory symlink?


cheers,

Andreas
