No, it hides your symptom.
The real issue which I had overlooked in your first message is that the
static /dev on your system has a /dev/.static/ directory. This is wrong
and broken, but you can just rm -rf it (BEWARE: do this ONLY if udev has
not been installed, or you will delete the underlying /dev).
The correct fix is to mkdir -p the target directory of the symlink in
the while loop, but it's not really urgent since this condition does not
naturally occours on normal systems.
