You can always perform the package management operations manually - in
this case, `ln -sf /Programs/X/Y/lib/* /lib`, but copies and removes
too. The tools are really only helpers. In this particular case though
there is also RescueSymlinkProgram, a static executable, which will
probably get you back up and running. You should run SymlinkProgram
again afterwards.
