Can this be extended to also cover file->symlink? We have that situation in Ostro OS 1.0 -> current release for /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf. I'm not sure what further work is needed besides testing; it seems to work already with swupd client 2.87. |

@pohly file->symlink is already supported. Just the directory->N type changes are unsupported at the moment. |

swupd client (tested with 2.87) supports replacing an empty directory with a symlink, so the check in the server is overly restrictive. Upstream wants to invest some more work before officially supporting such a state change (clearlinux#50). In the meantime we already need to support it for updates from Ostro OS 1.0 because of /usr/lib/ssl/certs changing to a symlink.
