These are traces of cpio failures. It tried to unpack file system data during an update of gallery2 package. cpio created those links first and later attempted a rename to 'smarty' but that name was taken by a directory, hence something of not the same type as a link, already in place. If you would remove the directory in question before an attempted update then everything would be good. > though I'm not sure what will happen to them on update. Nothing. They are not owned by any package and they will be sitting there forever until you will clean them out.
