Installer bug with symlinks

[Joe Krahn]

The installer can make a directory for new files even if there is 
already an existing directory symlink of the same name.

I discovered the problem when upgrading where I had a custom X11 build. 
I moved /usr/X11R6 to /usr/X11R6.dist, and made the symlink /usr/X11R6 
-> /usr/X11R6.build. When updating some packages with files in 
/usr/X11R6, I ended up with new files installed in /usr/X11R6 while the 
symlink name of the same name still existed.
