Package: coreutils Version: 8.23-3 Severity: normal User: m...@linux.it Usertags: usrmerge Tags: patch
The package installs a symbolic link to a file with the same name in both /bin/ and /usr/bin/, so it makes impossible to convert a system to the everything-in-usr directories scheme. The attached patch solves this problem by creating the link in postinst and only if it is needed. For more information about everything-in-usr please read http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/md/usrmerge.git/tree/debian/README.Debian -- ciao, Marco
