Update module, lose contents of lib directory [#1252202]

Just updated print to 6.x-1.13 via drush.
Status report complained that the link to wkhtmltopdf was gone, so I looked in sites/all/modules/print/lib and sure enough, nothing but a lone README.txt was in there.
Fortunately I have an rsync backup handy...

I compiled wkhtmltopdf myself after having major irritations with the available binaries, so I don't know if that's a factor.

Anyone else seen this?

Project:	Printer, email and PDF versions	» Drush
Version:	6.x-1.13	» 6.x-1.x-dev
Component:	Code	» PM (dl, en, up ...)

That's the fault of drush.. Place the wkhtmlltopdf library in sites/all/libraries if you're using drush to update modules.. It's safer...

Also, you're probably using an older version of drush. I'm moving this to the Drush queue, where you can get more advice.

If your module supports sites/all/libraries, you should definitely store your libraries there. It is a drush feature that downloaded / updated modules are reset to a pristine state. This insures that any assets that were removed from the module will definitely also be removed from your site. Any corruption or infection will also definitely be cleared up in an upgrade. If you are using a module that requires that its libraries be stored inside its module folder, then you will need to replace these assets manually after an upgrade.
