Relative --outputdir path makes broken symlinks (Linux, 5.14.1)

[altendky]

I may get to take a stab at this tomorrow, but I like to put tickets in sooner than later in case someone sees them and already knows something useful.

I don't know where the error lies but even if it's with Qt it might be worth just resolving the path before giving it to the Qt installer. And that vague theory may even give away some complete lack of understanding of aqtinstall as I haven't looked at the code yet. :]

After running with a relative path specified:

$ venv/bin/aqt install --outputdir qt 5.14.1 linux desktop gcc_64

The symlinks use relative paths and are broken:

After running with the full path specified:

$ rm -rf qt; venv/bin/aqt install --outputdir $PWD/qt 5.14.1 linux desktop gcc_64

The symlinks use full paths and work:

This is a bug in a library to extract 7zip archive.

You can do work-around with '-E <7zip command full path>' with aqtinstall v0.7.2.

I don't need to move these around (temp install while building pyqt5-tools) so adding $PWD is fine. But thanks for pointing out the -E option and reporting the issue upstream.

Fix released

[altendky]

Great, thanks again.
