Stat returns no such file or directory on symlink

Issue

• Trying to stat a symlink shows the following:

[root@host]# stat -L /usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100
stat: cannot stat `/usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100': No such file or directory

• ls -l can see the file as a symlink

[root@host]# ll /usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 32 Oct 12 13:24 /usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100 -> ../../../../lib/terminfo/v/vt100
