Comment 9 for bug 1089549

Sebastien, thank you for the thorough explanation. At least I understand some of the background now. I will see if I can come up with some incredibly cool idea that everybody else overlooked so far ;-)

I've already done as you suggested and redirected stderr but of course that's more of a workaround. I'll redo the search for dangling symlinks, exclude those resulting for the language packs (hopefully) and file the remaining bugs.

I apologize for the noise and the unnecessary work for you, it wasn't apparent to me that most of them shared a common cause. In my defense, I'd like to point out that I had stopped after about 10 packages when there were about 80 left to go, waiting for confirmation which indeed I did receive (in other packages).
