Comment 8 for bug 651438

This is an issue for us. /usr/local is a symbolic link to a network share (actually AFS but that's not relevant). I was told about this bug in response to a customer service ticket (#1923712) and sure enough, adding /usr/local:/var/spool/mail as %_netsharedpath allows the filesystem package to install but removes the link. We have a workaround as our cfengine configuration replaces the link but would prefer to allow rhnsd to handle updates rather than running yum update through cfengine to avoid a gap. If it is possible to fix, please do.
Thanks.
