Such things break Mandrakesoft's own rules. decided here some years
ago.  You cannot use symlinks on mirrors.   It assumes too much.  
The mirror itself may not be a Linux box.

The few symlinks that are there (except the one in the subject) are
not used or critical to anyone wanting to download any of the trees
or iso images.
