Heads-up: Minor lynx packaging bug

Hi,

While looking for package licenses on my machine, I noticed that some of
the symlinks in the lynx package (namely those in
/usr/share/lynx/lynx_help) point to files in a nonexistent directory:

$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/lynx/lynx_help/C*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 igor     Users          50 Sep  2  2003 /usr/share/doc/lynx/lynx_help/COPYHEADER -> /tmp/install/install/usr/share/doc/lynx/COPYHEADER
lrwxrwxrwx    1 igor     Users          47 Sep  2  2003 /usr/share/doc/lynx/lynx_help/COPYING -> /tmp/install/install/usr/share/doc/lynx/COPYING

Looks like a bug in the packaging Makefile that made those symlinks
absolute instead of relative.
HTH,
	Igor
