That will only work when on same file system. (Which will work for me

I forgot to mention that I have had same problem many times. I noticed it

It is caused by the CheckSymlink() function in pkg_install/create/pl.c.

My workaround for a long time was to do this with the lndir command.

Excellent. I have had this problem since November 2002.

I wonder if I send-pr'd this ...
