Description Toni DiBoulda 2004-02-14 14:27:41 UTC

Symlinks should be relative or, if pointing to target in same dir, not contain directory components at all. If ROOT != '/', absolute symlinks will point to wrong targets or nowhere.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ls -l /bin/ksh
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
/bin/ksh -> /bin/ksh93


Expected Results:  
/bin/ksh -> ksh93
