[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#626323: schroot-mount should cope with the mountpoint being an invalid symlink

[Roger Leigh]

Package: schroot
Version: 1.4.21-1+b1
Severity: important

Needed for /run migration.  If /dev/shm is symlinked to /run/shm then
the mountpoint won't exist.

Ensure that the directory pointed to by the symlink is valid.
