Hi,
    Following DNF producing message about dangling symlinks again even though I removed dangling symlinks a couple of days ago, I ran "sudo symlinks -r / | grep -i dangling" which showed dangling lock symlinks for Firefox and Thunderbird and 5 dangling symlinks for a ".build-id" folder. So to get rid of them I ran "sudo symlinks -r -d /" which showed screens and screens of messages similar to the sample ones below, hence what was it actually doing?

    Just relative to the symlink command, the documentation for running that command as part of system upgrade post process says to run "symlinks -r /usr | grep dangling", why "/usr", why not "/"?

Steve
