    As I said in previous mail, simply restricting the move code in preinst
    to upgrade time will not prevent this.

    In particular /usr/share/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/BigLogging.pm is
    already symlinked to /etc/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/BigLogging.pm. This package
    put it there :)

    Specifically:

    # ls -l /etc/MailScanner/Custom*
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54442 Mar 3 20:36 /etc/MailScanner/CustomConfig.pm

    /etc/MailScanner/Custom:
    total 0

    /etc/MailScanner/CustomFunctions:
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 871 Mar 24 12:44 BigLogging.pm

    # ls -l /usr/share/MailScanner/MailScanner/Custom*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 20 18:18 /usr/share/MailScanner/MailScanner/Custom -> /etc/MailScanner/Custom
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Aug 10 11:32 /usr/share/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomConfig.pm -> /etc/MailScanner/CustomConfig.pm
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Aug 10 11:32 /usr/share/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions -> /etc/MailScanner/CustomFunctions

    I'm loathe to try to patch your preinst code, because I don't entirely understand
    what you're trying to do, and wouldn't know how to do it properly in any case, but would something along the lines of:

    - if [ "$1" = "upgrade" ]; then
    + version=`dpkg -s mailscanner 2>/dev/null | awk '/^Version:/ {print $2}'`
    + if [ "$1" = "upgrade" -a "$version" \< "4.32.5-1" ]; then

    help, or even:

    - if [ ! -h /etc/MailScanner/$d ]; then
    + if [ ! -h /usr/share/MailScanner/MailScanner/$d ]; then

    Also, I have:

    # grep "Run As" /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
    #Run As User = mail
    #Run As User = postfix
    #Run As User = Debian-exim
    #Run As Group = mail
    #Run As Group = postfix
    #Run As Group = Debian-exim
    # by a user other than the "Run As User" setting at the top of this file,
    # Note: If the "Run As User" is not "root" then you cannot change the
    # "Run As User" is a member of both of the groups "Run As Group"
    # by a user other than the "Run As User" setting at the top of this file,
    # Note: If the "Run As User" is not "root" then you cannot change the
    # "Run As User" is a member of both of the groups "Run As Group"

    This would work (ie: I'm inclined to regard it as valid).
    But that's another bug!

    Paddy
