opkg-utils: Fix update-alternatives link relocation
Recently Debian-style support for link relocation was added to 'update-alternatives' script, but it fails under circumstances where host rootfs root directory differs from target rootfs root directory and two alternative packages provide a symbolic link with source located in different directories. An example of the case is busybox provided /bin/rev (symlinking to /bin/busybox.nosuid) and util-linux provided /usr/bin/rev (symlinking to /usr/bin/rev.util-linux) in which case following failure occurs during image recipe's do_rootfs() task: ERROR: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Postinstall scriptlets of ['util-linux'] have failed. If the intention is to defer them to first boot, then please place them into pkg_postinst_ontarget_${PN} (). Deferring to first boot via 'exit 1' is no longer supported. Details of the failure are in .../tmp/work/qemux86-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs. ERROR: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Function failed: do_rootfs Looking in log.do_rootfs file, following relevant lines can be observed: update-alternatives: renaming rev link from /bin/rev to /usr/bin/rev mv: cannot stat '/bin/rev': No such file or directory Mitigate issue by applying patch which adds target root filesystem root directory path prefix to failing 'mv' calls relevant variable references Signed-off-by: Niko Mauno <niko.mauno@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

+Subject: [opkg-utils PATCH] update-alternatives: Fix link relocation support
+
+Commit fcb26339000021eb9bb711aa264247aebcfdd4ae which added Debian-style
+support for link relocation tries to relocate symbolic link on host OS,
+resulting in following-like error when two alternative packages have
+symbolic link source located in different directories (/bin/rev ->
+/bin/busybox.nosuid and /usr/bin/rev -> /usr/bin/rev.util-linux):
+
+ update-alternatives: renaming rev link from /bin/rev to /usr/bin/rev
+ mv: cannot stat '/bin/rev': No such file or directory
+
+Fix the issue by prefixing 'olink' and 'link' variable references with
+path to targeted root filesystem's root directory.
