If we don't consider this a bug in the ebuild for creating the hardlinks in the first place, I think we should simply use bzip2's --force option to break the hardlinks. Anything else seems little more than extra complication with questionable gain. In svn r6089 I've added --force to the default PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS so that hardlinks are automatically broken. This has been released in 2.1.2-r12. thanks, i think this is the correct fix too ... people should be using softlinks, not hardlinks ... |

As shown, ecompressdir with bzip2 doesn't handle directories in which contains hardlinks.
