[Scratchbox-devel] sb-adduser broken in 1.0.8

[Jussi Hakala]

A snapshot in which the problem has been resolved is available (core, 
libs, toolchain-host) from [1]. There are other goodies as well, like a 
snapshot of the cputransp devkit containing cvs version of qemu.

The original problem occurs only if you use the symlinks in debian 
package and/or your /scratchbox directory is a symlink which points to 
another location.
