thanks for the update Selene, bummer... on the bright side though.. happy
to read the image appears to be OK once the link is fixed.

Is there a way to force the symlink to the right target via some override
at the end of the image creation as a stop gap until the underlying issue
is resolved?
What are suggested mitigation steps to get us off traincon-0 so we can land

beta freeze?
