Description LiRongQing 2013-09-05 09:34:24 UTC 
ptest-runner will check all directory under /usr/lib* and confirm which directory
contain ptest, if the directory have a soft link under /use/lib*, ptest-runner will
run the test two times.
For example, the ptest under perl5 will be run two times.
root@localhost:~# ls -l /usr/lib64 | grep perl

    ptest-runner: trivial fixes and refine
    
    1. ptest files may be installed under /usr/lib64/ for 64bit filesystem
    or under /usr/lib/ for 64bit multilib filesystem, so we should check both
    directories
    
    2. If a soft link is linking to a directory under the same directory, we
    only run once.
