There is no logic in putting symlinks into all packages. The whole purpose of having the usr symlink is for packages that install into /usr. If we were going to change packages, they should not install into /usr in the first place, so we could just remove the symlink. Of course this has still the problem of changing all packages :) Thanks, Marcus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
