 #w003 problem. pet pkg seamonkey_addon_adblock has files in /usr/lib/seamonkey but in rootfs-complete

 #usr/lib/seamonkey is a symlink to seamonkey-1.1.14 and copy fails. this will follow path with a

 #symlink (hopefully doesn't break something else)...

 #looks okay. the --remove-destination ensures that if target file already exists as a symlink

 #it will be deleted first and won't be followed. shit no, it changed /usr/lib/seamonkey into a dir...

 #cp -r --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps,links --dereference --remove-destination packages-${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}/${ONEPKG}/* sandbox3/rootfs-complete/ 2> /dev/null

 #/usr/sbin/petget solves this a different way, let's try that...
