See this message in the thread "Merge /usr/bin & /usr/sbin after upgrade
to F42?" maybe ?
Hope, this helps a bit.

Does anybody have an opinion on this?
Seeing the postfix bug introduced by that (no sendmail), I wrote the
attached script to finish the merge.
It already worked on a few machines.

Finishes the unification of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
During an upgrade to F42, most of the files in /usr/sbin are converted
to symlinks to ../bin/
This command moves the remaining files and links to /usr/bin then defines
/usr/sbin as a symlink to /usr/bin.
Checks are done that no conflicts exist for those files/links like:
- a file must not exist in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin or as a symlink
to /usr/sbin
