We really need to clean up the mess we got into. I am not so sure that we went the right way though. The compat symlinks that were put in packages could be self-defeating. At some point in time /bin needs to be switched to a symlink to /usr/bin. Rpm will follow that link so packages installing files in /bin will continue to work just fine. However, how does rpm behave when packages contain both links in /bin as well as binaries in /usr/bin? What would rpm -V say? So I was thinking whether a better way would be to not actually package compat symlinks but rather create them with some helper in %post as long as /bin is not a symlink itself yet. We'd need a way to tag files that are meant to have a compat symlink then. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
