I built an installer pkg which which put files in /usr/include and
/usr/man.

Under 2.1, installing & removing the pkg works fine.
Note that /usr/include and /usr/man are NOT links under 2.1.

Under 3.0, installing seems to work ok, but when the package is removed
(using the Installer "delete" button), it seems to also remove the
/usr/include and /usr/man links (but not the directory linked to,
thank god.)

If the files are installed into the directorys and not through the links,
everything works, but this won't work for a 2.1 installation.

Is this a known problem or am I doing something wrong? Any help appreciated.
