Description:
In texlive-bin 2009.1-1, there are some dangling symlinks in /usr/bin. They are harmless, of course, but they are serving no purpose (AFAIK). Steps to reproduce: 1) Run the command "chkdupexe" (part of the util-linux-ng package) 2) Many dangling symlinks are found that belong to texlive-bin. Below is the list, with the non-existent path that each symlink to. /usr/bin/ht -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tex4ht/ht.sh /usr/bin/htcontext -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tex4ht/htcontext.sh /usr/bin/htlatex -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tex4ht/htlatex.sh /usr/bin/htmex -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tex4ht/htmex.sh /usr/bin/httex -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tex4ht/httex.sh /usr/bin/httexi -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tex4ht/httexi.sh /usr/bin/htxelatex -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tex4ht/htxelatex.sh /usr/bin/htxetex -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tex4ht/htxetex.sh /usr/bin/mkgrkindex -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/mkgrkindex/mkgrkindex /usr/bin/mk4ht -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tex4ht/mk4ht.pl /usr/bin/epspdftk -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/epspdf/epspdftk /usr/bin/pst2pdf -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/pst2pdf/pst2pdf.pl /usr/bin/epspdf -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/epspdf/epspdf /usr/bin/ulqda -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/ulqda/ulqda.pl /usr/bin/htcontext -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tex4ht/htcontext.sh /usr/bin/ebong -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/bengali/ebong.py |

texlive-bin contains a bunch of symlinks for scripts in texlive-core, but also a few other for some texlive-* packages, such as texlive-htmlxml.
Currently they are all put under texlive-bin for convenience, but with the next release of texlive-bin I will indeed move them to their respective packages.
