Description:
symlinks to /bin/kmod (such as modprobe) should be same-directory symlinks. Currently, at least modprobe points to ../usr/bin/kmod. This is a problem if a user attempts a manual usrmerge (merging /bin with /usr/bin and /sbin with /usr/sbin) as the link would then point to /usr/usr/bin/kmod which does not exist. Admittedly it's not specifically recommended anywhere (though the forums deemed it safe), but this should still be corrected. Additional info: Name : kmod Version : 8-1 |

There are many symlinks that will need manually adjusted if you do
a manual usr move... Also, you will likely break your system on
the update of any package that has a file of the same name in both
/usr/bin and /bin. This change will happen but is entirely
unsupported for now.
