I know what is happening here in theory, but not all installed programs do. For example fetchmail stopped working after this update until I added a symlink to the old location.
Is there a "proper" way to handle this apart from what I did?
I think the proper solution is to have netcfg provide exactly that kind of symlink. Just like we have /var/run and /etc/resolv.conf.
No - the move of the files to /usr/etc is so that /etc stays clean for the admin to override things as he needs. And not to pullute it with symlinks. Please read my other mail in this thread. Working arund this issue with more workarounds is just not going to be the way forward. cheers, Dominique
