That script as displayed by a web browser loading that link on gmane
is mangled by word wrap. Each of the "ln -s" commands gets broken
into two lines. The net result is that an essential link in
/etc/systemd/system/ gets removed, but the intended replacement gets
installed in whatever your PWD was when you ran the command, leaving
you with a system that will not boot to the default target.
