commit df4eed5debcdc9209e1f5e66d17230861a55a7fc
Author: Panu Matilainen <pmatilai@redhat.com>

    Filter out skipped files on hardlink checking (RhBug:864622)
    
    - Legitimately skipped files (links) must not cause install-errors.
      This has always been broken, but the errors were completely ignored
      on install prior to rpm 4.10.
    - Backported from commit eeea54c76b130da3769ae10f7db2c2fcfb5c57be
