First I've heard of this. What's going on?
Oh, I know.
if ! command -v readlink > /dev/null 2>&1; then
message "The readlink command was not found. Please install version" \
"1.13.1 or later of the debianutils package."
readlink () {
# returns what symlink in $1 actually points to
perl -e '$l = shift; exit 1 unless -l $l; $r = readlink $l; exit 1 unless $r; print "$r\n"' $1;
}
fi
