Bug#904515: x2goserver: fails to reinstall: ln: failed to create symbolic link '/etc/x2go/applications': File exists

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: x2goserver
Version: 4.1.0.0-4
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package succeeded to install,
but thereafter failed to reinstall the same version over it again.

Like a plain failure on initial install this makes the package too buggy
for a release, thus the severity.

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