I figured out halfway what is going on.

The link is missing, and that is due to the install script not 
being executed, which in turn is due to the install script not 
existing in the binary package tarball. This again is due to 
the way I built the package. For some special reason, I delete 
the files

.INSTALL
.pkgdb/+INSTALL

from the working directory and then let them being rebuilt (or 
at least try to) by the command

make pre-install-script

However, this not seems to rebuild the installation script. I 
am pretty sure that this *used* to work until recently.

For the moment, I disabled this special procedure for my 
builds.


Thanks for you answers,
Lasse
