I recently installed emonSD-24Jul20, and one of my ansible jobs is complaining about a recursive symlink in /opt. If I remove it it gets recreated, so it appears something is creating it at either install or upgrade. The problem is that /opt/openenergymonitor/emonhub/src/src is symlinked to /opt/openenergymonitor/emonhub/src, which causes anything walking the filesystem to end up in a recursive loop.

I haven't been able to find what might be creating the symlink. The only obvious link commands are in emonnhub/install.sh and emonpi/update.sh, and those are both linking to the src directory so shouldn't be creating a new link in the src directory.
