[Pkg-roundcube-maintainers] Bug#1053709: roundcube-core: Trying to recreate an already existing symlink '/etc/apache2/conf-available/roundcube.conf'

[Serge Cohen]

Package: roundcube
Version: 1.4.14+dfsg.1-1~deb11u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: serge.cohen at cnrs.fr

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
A Bullseye running server having roundcube already installed. At the occasion of an 'apt-get upgrade' got the message that it was impossible to create the symling '/etc/apache2/conf-available/roundcube.conf' since it already existed (indeed created earlier and present for a long time). This error halts totally the installation process.
Note, however, that in my situation the target of the symlink does NOT exist.

Indeed, on this server the web interface is served through Nginx and FPM.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Removed the symlink and rerun the 'apt upgrade'

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The upgrade went well after having removed the symlink. The symlink is recreated exactly as it was before the 'apt upgrade'.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The symlink should transparently handled during the upgrade.
