[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Do not remove symlink to directory if local package uses that path

[Allan McRae]

If we have a symlink to a directory (e.g. /lib -> usr/lib), then
we can not remove it if a local package thinks it has files in the
symlink directory (e.g. /lib/foo), because this will invalidate the
local file database.
