Description Paul Worrall 2024-03-11 11:27:30 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Create a backup plan that includes a folder containing a symlink that points to a file that's not in the backup plan

OBSERVED RESULT
There's a warning message that says "The symbolic link <name> is currently included but it points to a file which is not: <symlink target> ..."

But the symbolic link _is_ pointing to the file it mentions.

EXPECTED RESULT
Probably the message should say the symbolic link points to the file <symlink target> which is not included in the backup plan ... etc.

Simplify warning text in KCM

There is no need to say that the symlink is included, it's implied by the
fact that a warning about it is displayed.
