Bugzilla Bug 137497

Hi, here's a patch which is the other side of the pkg_postinst() check in
quake1-demodata (bug #137402), to ensure that the demo symlink does not
conflict with the CD data.

Why don't you just make them block each other?

Because they can reside together quite happily, *without* the symlink. A
mutually-exclusive block sounds excessive.

Added to CVS... thanks for the patch, Paul.

a patch to check if quake1-demodata is installed

This update only seems to work if quake1-demodata is already installed.  If it
is not, an error is returned.

 * The symlink for the demo data conflicts with the cdinstall data

!!! Unmerge games-fps/quake1-demodata to remove the conflict
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if
relevant.
