Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just my system? I am running a
64 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 lucid edition of linux. While using the
recursive grep command on the /usr folder, I noticed a lot of "No such
file or directory" messages.
Investigating further, I found over 10,530 such messages when searching
the whole /usr folder and all of these pertained to symbolic links that
pointed to missing files (most generally)
I also saw this on the latest 11.10 oneiric edition of Ubuntu also, in
the /usr area.
Does anyone actually check out their symbolic links? Or do we just
assume that if we make a symbolic link, it is good to go?
Of course, I am afraid to touch anything, but still 10,540+ messages
seems a lot?
Your thoughts?
