9441	Installation failed due to limited hard link support => Fixed in SVN	Erik Braun		"Please do not use hard links. Users of (file-)systems with limited hard link
support, e. g. OpenAFS, cannot simply install this package with ""apt-get"", ""dpkg"" or any other native installer on Linux.

The use of hard links saves marginal diskspace, but leads to hassle on
every update of this package on some filesystems, so please just do without
hard links:
