Hi,

The perl-cleaner script doesn't work properly when /var/db/pkg is a symlink (like in the case of my system). The attached trivial patch needs to be applied.

Reproducible: Always

- for content in $(find ${PKG_DBDIR} -path "*/-MERGING-*" -prune -o -name CONTENTS -print ) ; do
+ for content in $(find -L ${PKG_DBDIR} -path "*/-MERGING-*" -prune -o -name CONTENTS -print ) ; do

will be in perl-cleaner-2.3
