leapp upgrade stops with Inhibitor "Upgrade requires links in root directory to be relative"

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The command leapp upgrade or leapp preupgrade reports an inhibitor:

     Risk Factor: high (inhibitor)
    Title: Upgrade requires links in root directory to be relative
    Summary: After rebooting, parts of the upgrade process can fail if symbolic links in / point to absolute paths.
    Please change these links to relative ones.
    Remediation: [command] sh -c ln -snf data /softlink
    Key: 3d895ad37ceaf4157864d439edb6bd75562061fa
    

NOTE: The remediation command suggested in leapp-report.txt is faulty and we are working to fix it through RHEL-30447 . The command is missing (") double quotes for subcommand of shell.
