Description

We get various errors in CI because gradle < 2.13 does not handle deletion of symlinks correctly.

Please compare https://docs.gradle.org/2.13/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.Delete.html (2.13) with https://docs.gradle.org/2.12/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.Delete.html (2.12)

Looks like 2.14.1 is a suitable quick win.

Errors are for instance:

Execution failed for task ':clean'.
> Unable to delete file: /ws/build/hue/rpm/BUILD/hue-release-3.11.0/build/env/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h
