[Bug 999207] Re: what is the operative readlink command?

[C de-Avillez]

Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.

Additionally, 'readlink' _is_ available on precise, and it does accept a
'-f'. Please provide:

1.  the command run, and the full output.
2. the output of 'readlink --version'
