Are you sure? I did the following:
backes@eule [~]: mkdir aaaaa
backes@eule [~]: cd aaaaa
backes@eule [~/aaaaa]: ln -s ~ l
backes@eule [~/aaaaa]: cd ..
backes@eule [~]: cp -rP aaaaa bbbbb/
backes@eule [~]: ls -l bbbbb
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 backes backes 12 May 28 18:26 l -> /home/backes
(r is used for recursivity)
So "-P" will do it :-)
-a includes -P, so copying symlinks is not his problem. His problem
is that the links are broken, as reported by diff.
