Ok, then what's the best way to fix it?
Right now the code says:
if [ /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data is not a link ]; then # assuming it's actually a directory
move the contents of the directory to /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/data
remove /usr/share mythtv/mythweb/data
link /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/data to /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data
fi
The Issue I see here is that this doesn't account for the fact that /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data
just flat out doesn't exist, because it's actually at /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/data.
If the directory is ALWAYS at /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/data, do we even need the
[ ! -L /usr/share/mythtv..... ] check at all, or can we always just do the link and chown?
