Updating from cinnamon spices fails

[jonbrett]

When updating the applet from cinnamon spices using cinnamon applet settings application I get the following message.

An error occurred during installation or updating.  You may wish to report this incident to the developer of hamster@projecthamster.wordpress.com.

If this was an update, the previous installation is unchanged

Details:  Cannot call rmtree on a symbolic link

I think it something to do with updating the gsettings schema...

Just thought this might be due to my development environment - I have ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/hamster@projecthamster.wordpress.com symlinked to my development git repository on the machine I tried to update on.

After the next hamster version I will try to update on another machine and see what happens....

Applet have been updated on cinnamon spice
linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-applets@bcd6d7e

It should solve the issue

As this Issue documents the cinnamon applet is now maintained by the Mint Linux team.
As such this repository is kept around for historical and migration reasons.
Contributors are encouraged to head over there and no work will be done on this
repository at all.
Thanks for your support.
