The problem is that even though qmail happily follows the
/var/qmail/queue symlink, queue_repair considers this configuration an
error. I've mailed the queue_repair author suggesting that it should
follow the symlink in the same way that qmail itself does.
Thanks for the bug report! I never noticed this bug because I haven't
had a queue that needed to be fixed. I'd only tried "queue_repair -t",
which warned about the symlink but otherwise worked.
