#1557 PR merged: This patch correct behavior during symlink creation process of /usr/lib*

Labels: bug, fixed / solved / done

gozora opened issue at 2017-10-29 12:55:

If symlink (in /usr) points to relative target on original system, it will be incorrectly
recreated in ReaR recovery system.
This applies to links in other than root (/)
c.f. Issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1555

I've omitted use of ln and later "guesswork" and rather used cp to copy original symlink "as is".

@gdha yes, for me it worked just fine ...
