[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#825618: gnustep-dl2-postgresql-adaptor: fails to upgrade from wheezy to jessie to stretch: cannot switch directory to symlink

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gnustep-dl2-postgresql-adaptor
Version: 0.12.0-14
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 libgnustep-dl2-0d

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'wheezy' to 'jessie' to 'stretch'.
It installed fine in 'wheezy', and upgraded to 'jessie' successfully,
but then the upgrade to 'stretch' failed.

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