Local charm deployment not working if symlinks are used

The pastebin link isn't valid.

I've seen this error when I've had an invalid metadata.yaml. In that case it would be useful for juju to give more information about what's wrong

I can confirm gojuju is not handling symlink structures correctly. I've attached a log demonstrating the issue.

FWIW, I've also confirmed that this is the same for symlinks with both relative and absolute paths.

I'm not sure that the fix addresses the issue completely. Later on in the deployment process, I get:

error: cannot bundle charm: symlink "." is absolute: "/path/to/charm"

http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5847372/

Just to confirm:
$ juju version
1.11.2-precise-amd64

I get a similar error with 1.16.3 on saucy

http://paste.ubuntu.com/6475006/

This used to work with pyjuju, and is handy for development of charms, particularly subordinates

Simon, please raise a new issue. From reading your sample I don't
think what you want is possible, there is no way for one charm to
refer to code in another charm as charms are deployed in isolated
containers.
