It seems that
some systems have a symlinks like this
/bin -> usr/bin /lib -> usr/lib /sbin -> usr/sbin
Some systems have single file-symlinks of executables in these directories like this:
/bin/some_exe -> usr/bin/some_exe
(this is what
usrmerge
seems to accomplish as well)And some systems have some symlinks and some executables (including duplicates).
Questions
- Which state is the one that's meant to be?
- How do I get into the state that's meant to be from the other states?
usrmerge
failure; I don't know what the 'default state' should look like, to suggest a course of action.usrmerge
for anything other than testing and filing bugs on Debian (not Ubuntu) packages...usually done in a container or VM and wiped instead of repaired. Perhaps that could be clarified in the question.
