Bug#593186: config/chroot_local-packages/foo.deb cannot be a symlink

["Trent W. Buck" <trentbuck@gmail.com>]

Package: live-build
Version: 2.0~a23-1
Severity: minor

chroot_sources uses cp -l to copy packages from
config/chroot_local-packages/ into the chroot.  This breaks when
packages are symlinks.

Example:

    # ls -l config/chroot_local-packages/*deb
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root disk 46 Aug 16 13:58 config/chroot_local-packages/linux-image-2.6.35_2.6.35-1_amd64.deb -> /usr/src/linux-image-2.6.35_2.6.35-1_amd64.deb

Generates output from "lh build":

    # lh build
    [...]
    P: Configuring file /etc/apt/sources.list

    W: Unable to stat ./linux-image-2.6.35_2.6.35-1_amd64.deb

    [...]
    P: Begin install linux-image...
    cp: cannot stat `chroot/boot/vmlinuz-*': No such file or directory

Perhaps chroot_sources should use CP_OPTIONS=-lL.
