Summary:                    Sym links in skel.tar.gz
Description: 
Suggestion:

Change all of the following symbolic links:

From:                               To:

./dev/log -> /tmp/log           -> ../tmp/log
./etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts      -> ../proc/mounts
./var/lib/pcmcia -> /tmp        -> ../../tmp
./var/lock -> /tmp              -> ../tmp 
./var/log -> /tmp               -> ../tmp
./var/pcmcia -> /tmp            -> ../tmp 
./var/run -> /tmp               -> ../tmp
./var/spool -> /tmp             -> ../tmp
./var/tmp -> /tmp               -> ../tmp

This way, when the target file system is staged in a workspace, a
recursive search in that workspace will not follow the links to the host
/tmp or /proc directory.
