• ReaR version: Relax-and-Recover 2.5 / Git
• System architecture: x86
• Description of the issue:

If etc/ssh/sshd_config is a symbolic link, build/default/500_ssh_setup.sh will fail to apply patches:

2020-04-14 15:07:30.912377983 Including build/default/500_ssh_setup.sh
sed: can't read /tmp/rear.4sZcgsBNHi0t1lc/rootfs/etc/ssh/sshd_config: No such file or directory
sed: can't read /tmp/rear.4sZcgsBNHi0t1lc/rootfs/etc/ssh/sshd_config: No such file or directory
sed: can't read /tmp/rear.4sZcgsBNHi0t1lc/rootfs/etc/ssh/sshd_config: No such file or directory

Symbolic links will eventually get resolved to target files in build/default/985_fix_broken_links.sh but that's too late.

• Suggestion (tested successfully): move 985_fix_broken_links.sh to 490_fix_broken_links.sh.
