Unpacking it and doing ls -al in the ttmkfdir2 directory shows: .#xx -> jpo.3733:947410086 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install the freetype src.rpm 2.upack ttmkfdir2.tar.bz2 3.ls -al in the ttmkfdir2 directory Actual Results: i noticed the broken symlink Expected Results: the symlink shouldn't be there? Additional info:
That is just a harmless symlink that happened to be in the dir when the author or whoever created the tarball I guess. We ship the original authors tarballs, unmodified, and patch them if necessary to fix any problems. While it is ugly, it is harmless and minor.
