Absolute symlinks hell!!

My present FC2 partition was copied from another disk when I lasted upgraded
my box. I used either 'cp -a ...' or mc and I now have absolute symlinks
everywhere, eg:
[root at opal root]# ls -l /etc/X11/X
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jun 15 20:24 /etc/X11/X
-> ../../../../usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg
FC3 now tells me that it cannot upgrade a system with absolute symlinks. Is
there some way I can convert them, via tar maybe?
TIA
-Robin.
