As noted in FS#20498, if an absolute path is used for specifying the database when invoking repo-add, the symlink generated will point to the absolute path instead of being relative to the directory. Fix this for the two linking cases, but leave the copy untouched so that will still work.

Maybe we could already apply this on gerolde. ATM we are pushing those broken links to the mirrors. (yes, this didn't happen with the old dbscripts)

No need for the private list. And go ahead if you want, but since no program even uses these links yet, it really isn't a rush at all. It is also going in 3.4.1 which Allan and I want to release in the next week or so. -Dan
