Default Fix companion file error without breaking component rules

I have an MSI which consists of a number of components. In many cases a
component consists of two files, a DLL which is the keypath and the DLL's
PDB file which has the DLL as it's companion file. I just realized that we
have a cut/paste typo, the TWO.PDB file has a companion file of ONE.DLL
(instead of TWO.DLL).

Can I fix that without breaking the component rules?

Yes, if you're doing a major upgrade. No if you're making a patch or a minor
upgrade keeping the same ProductCode guid.
