Bug#964776: debsums: Symlink loop detection bug - aborting debsums falsely for absolute non-looping symlinks

[Harald Dunkel]

I tried the patch on Bookworm: Works for me. Before:

il06:~# debsums -se
debsums: changed file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/example-keyring.gpg (from example-bootstrap package)
debsums: changed file /etc/apt/sources.list.d.bookworm/example.de.list (from example-bootstrap package)
debsums: missing file /etc/apt/sources.list.d.sid/adoptium.jfrog.io.list (from example-bootstrap package)
debsums: Error: symlink loop detected in path 'etc/apt/sources.list.d/example.de.list'. Please file a bug against example-bootstrap.
