Bug description:
Hello Max!
Here is your bug about the upgrade path for /usr/share/rustc change from being a directory in whatever older rust-default version to being a symlink in the newest ones.
Basically we'll need to make sure that the newest packages will remove any existing directory to be able to replace it with a symlink.
For the context, I faced that situation on my Ubuntu devel (right now
resolute) laptop, that is basically rolling release, so I'm not sure
how normal users are affected right now.
Happy bug fixing :-)
