>Description:
The "obsolete" postinstall check/fix attempts to remove
files marked obsolete in the distrib sets. This includes
several header files which were installed in previous releases,
but are not installed any more. These headers are still used
by the kernel.
If SYS_INCLUDES=symlinks, these obsolete files are not actually
"installed" (they are merely references to the kernel source tree
living at /sys), but the check/fix wants to remove them anyway.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use SYS_INCLUDES=symlinks and do a postinstall check.
>Fix:
Not provided.
