Following (I think?) the recent update of tcsh the link
/bin/csh -> tcsh
points to a file that no longer exists. (Typing csh gives "bash: csh:
command not found".)
Incidentally by the rather sledgehammer approach of
find / -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum > file0 2> file1
it's possible to identify 111 bad links altogether. Approx 40 of these
(mainly in /bin/) are of the form {pathto}/name1 -> {pathto}/name2 where
actually the target file is {pathto}/name2.exe, so I guess are not strictly
wrong, in that they'll work even though the target file does not exist.
Another 55 are in /usr/share/doc/doxygen-1.4.2_20050421/examples/ and are
plain wrong (nonexistent targets).
Also 4 in /usr/share/man/de/man1/ are wrong because gslp.1 does not exist.
There are minor others including /usr/share/man/mf.1 and
/usr/share/man1/mf-nowin.1, both having non-existent targets.
Because of the virtual creation of /usr/bin/ other links that don't work
from /bin/, do work from /usr/bin/, and so are not I suppose strictly wrong.
(Conversely the link /usr/bin/pidof -> ../sbin/killall5.exe doesn't work
from /usr/bin/ but does work from /bin/.) Similarly the virtual creation of
/usr/lib/ makes some things work that otherwise would fail.
