Well, IIRC, this didn't happen when upgrading from 1-15-* to 1-15-**,
nor from 1-16-* to 1-16-**, though the folders were different.
This only happened when upgrading from 1-16 to 1-17.

As far as I remember, I *never* used any symlink to xaaes - except
recently to make it point to the correct path -.
All was done by EasyMiNT. Without telling me. :-/
If I understand what you mean, I have to copy xaloader into /usr/bin,
instead of xaaes (aes doens't exit here), that's correct ?
