[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Please remove the "absolute symlink" warnings (Issue #2419)

[Vít Ondruch]

> Absolute symlinks are downright dangerous in combination with chrooted content. The absolute link okay inside the chroot of course, but have you never, ever looked at eg /var/lib/mock/ stuff without chrooting into it?

You mean that outside of chroot, they point to system locations? What is wrong with it? That is fine by me and if I am "lucky", they might point to useful location. Or is the problem that some might edit e.g. system configuration instead of the chroot configuration? I don't see this as a problem.

Again, if this is so problematic, then this should be probably reflected in Fedora guidelines, but not judged by RPM. RPM on itself has not any use of chroot.
