Description Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2010-08-01 22:17:48 UTC 
On some systems, /usr/lib64/dri is a symlink to /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/dri/ instead of a directory. eselect-mesa does not handle this well.
Under which circumstances this occurs is presently unclear. 

Two approaches which solve this problem:
1. use absolute symlinks instead of relative ones
2. exit with an error message if /usr/lib64/dri is a symlink

Hmm, I didn't properly read the description of this bug.  My patch does fix a real issue, though I'd better create a new bug...
