Hi,
just out of curiosity: is there any quick way to find all
hard- and soft-links on a system? I just want to be sure
they were all created after I moved system from the old disk
to the new one...

Hi Jarry,
searching for softlinks is pretty easy:
find / -type l
If my understanding of hardlinks is correct you cannot say which file is
the original and which file is the link. Both inodes just point to the
same datablocks. But you can identify those files by checking the
linkcount.
find / -t

Yeah, you're right. And I think I have to correct myself. You don't have
two inodes, you have two directoryentries pointing to the same inode. So
if you want to find corresponding files, you can sort by inodenumber:
find /usr/bin -type f -links '+1' -print0 | xargs -0 ls -li | sort -n

After todays update world, I run revdep-rebuild which reports binutils
broken and uses `oneshot' to reinstall it. Follow with another
revdep-rebuild and it finds the same thing.
Anyone seen something similar or have an idea what might be the problem?
