[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/dropbear: fix when readlink is busybox'

Yann E. MORIN yann.morin.1998 at free.fr
Tue Aug 18 19:25:53 UTC 2015


Busybox' "readlink -f" does not canonicalise paths when the target is
missing, while coreutils do.

Fix that by:
  - making an absolute symlink
  - dropping "-f" when calling readlink

Fixes #8276.
