Public bug reported:

I believe one of the Adobe upgrade packages caused my </opt> directory
to be unlinked. Usually I symlink this directory to a path on another
partition </opt => /home/opt>, something I've done since Ubuntu 8
series.  After doing an upgrade today that link was lost and in its
place was a new </opt> with contents </opt/Adobe/Reader9>. So I assume
it is acroread which broke it.

I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 with the Muon update manager, but I suspect it
isn't related to those components.

I've attached a screenshot showing the other packages updated at the
same time.
