An idea. Is it a symlink which doesn't resolve to a file or directory? symlinks generally are created with relative paths to support moving the "root" around, but perhaps it's a shortuct inside the package root which can only resolve on full system? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

It's a symlink pointing to nowhere, to a non-existant target. -dnh -- Love your enemies: they'll go crazy trying to figure out what you're up to. -- BSD fortune file -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Could this be a result of %fdupes -s? Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Not sure. Using -s in %fdupes is generally a bad idea. One can limit link creation over more physical disks by specifying path - %fdupes %{buildroot}%{_datadir} ... -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
