[mail/qmail] make install fails on existing /var/qmail/.qmail-postmaster files

[Spil Oss]

Sorry, pressed Send to quickly....

root at beastie# ls alias*
alias:
.qmail-mailer-daemon    .qmail-postmaster       .qmail-root

alias~:
.qmail-mailer-daemon    .qmail-postmaster       .qmail-root

root at beastie# ls -l alias~/.qmail-mailer-daemon
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  qmail  23 Sep 26 22:06 alias~/.qmail-mailer-daemon
-> alias/.qmail-postmaster

Error occurs because it's a link.
