Subject: fix apply-live-updates failing because of /lib symlink
X-Git-Tag: 018~74
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b43d651511df184fcdc1677e11166bae2f61073a;p=thirdparty%2Fdracut.git

fix apply-live-updates failing because of /lib symlink

Since cp won't copy a directory over a symlink, any updates that were
supposed to go into e.g. /lib would get dropped if you had /updates/lib
as an actual directory, but the target system had /lib->/usr/lib.
