+- Using an absolute path as source in symbolic link in spec file
+  to avoid an issue with /usr/sbin/Check in SLE11, SLE_11_SP1,
+  and SLE_11_SP2 that would wrongly convert a relative path
+  ../ghostscript/fonts into a ../ghostscript/fonts.gz file.
+  Afterwards /usr/lib/rpm/brp-symlink converts it to a relative
+  path so that the binary RPM gets the intended symbolic link
+  /usr/share/fonts/ghostscript -> ../ghostscript/fonts
+  as intended (bnc#778879).
