Same on my laptop:
$ eselect profile show
Current /etc/portage/make.profile symlink:
default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr/desktop
$ ls -l /sbin/reboot
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 526 2024-11-08 10:14 /sbin/reboot
$
Obviously the problem is somewhere else. Meanwhile I found that running
"shutdown" directly from a shell works without the additional symbolic
links in directory "/usr/bin/". But selecting "shutdown" or "reboot" in
Xfce's "Action Button" popup menu fails when these symbolic links are
missing.
And I found that in syslog the message
(3) reboo[14713]: Failed to execute /usr/bin/reboot: No such file or
directory
is always immediately preceded (with exactly the same time stamp) by the
message
(5) kernel: elogind-daemon[1877]: System is rebooting.
But the last update of "sys-auth/elogind" to version 252.9-r2 was end of
September and thus _before_ my last successful reboot via Xfce's action
buttons and without the symbolic links. So "elogind" seems out.
As is kernel 6.6.58-r1, because booting an older kernel (6.6.52) without
the symbolic links didn't work either.
So currently I'm a bit out of ideas, apart from leaving these symbolic
links in "usr/bin/" :-(
Sincerely,
Rainer
