Hi Max,

Sorry, didn't realise. If I change the line
/bin/find /etc/profile.d -type f -iname '*.sh' -or -iname '*.zsh'
to be
/bin/find -L /etc/profile.d -type f -iname '*.sh' -or -iname '*.zsh'
would that fix things? (The -L tells find to follow the link and make decisions based on the actual file AFAICT).
Unfortunately, even if this was fixed in the package, existing installs wouldn't get fixed, because /etc/profile is handled via /etc/defaults :-(
What's wrong with /etc/defaults? This sort of update is precisely what it's supposed to handle. The only time people won't get upgraded is if they've manually edited their /etc/profile (or they have a copy which existed before /etc/defaults came into existence). These folks have been told to upgrade and where it's better to place their modifications, surely we've given them enough time by now ;)
PS, off this thread, since you are maintaining Apache2 atm, could you let me know if you've ever taken a look at the php module? I'd like to get phpBB working, but couldn't get the php module to compile correctly. No worries if it's not on your agenda ;)
