[issue12765] test_packaging failure under Snow Leopard

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

The database test failures were due to the fact that, on OS X, the tempdir was created in /var which on OS X is actually a symlink to /private/var so the tests for path inclusion which used startswith were failing.  I added a call to os.path.realpath to normalize fake_dists_path to the actual full path. (/etc and /tmp on OS X are also symlinked to /private, BTW).
