[patch] no-symlink-expand

kpathsea-6.0.0_p20100722-no-symlink-expand.patch (text/plain), 677 bytes, created by Fabian Groffen on 2010-11-30 15:48:32 UTC

If $EPREFIX contains symlinks, kpsewhich will return a resolved path,
which results in out of prefix errors for packages which use it.
Hence, don't resolve paths that are absolute, to avoid this problem.
