[Bug 369130] [NEW] package binutils-avr 2.18-3 failed to install/upgrade: trying to create hardlink, but /usr/lib is on another partition (the original file was not specified).

[mikkelkj]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: binutils-avr

Dist upgrading to 9.04 (32bit version)

Special system configuration: (soft link)
/usr/lib -> /data/usr/lib

fstab info:
/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sdb1 on /data type ext3 (rw)

The softlink was created due to space limitations on /dev/sda2 and
/dev/sdb1 already existed as a full disk partition.

Error from package system:
