Apparently some or all travis build servers has a bit older coreutils version. The coreutils v8.13 added a feature to readlink that allows user to specify multiple arguments. Earlier versions gave exactly the type of error travis_script log has. +readlink: extra operand `rename_aa/sublink.2' +Try `readlink --help' for more information. The commit 0f85e0535bd4e6d19fadca182e4d57660b6bb57b introduced the travis realpath issue to happen.
