(It's understood that you might not have manpages in rescue-mode.) OT, it's odd that nano is in /usr/bin but on my system at least it only links to /lib64. We're only discussing the same tools one might need in an initramfs, wherein they presumably also need to have their linkage checked. > The best way to solve all cross / - /usr dependencies imo is the /usr > merge (moving everything from /{bin,sbin,lib*} to the counterparts in > /usr), which has been discussed pretty extensively on this list, and > there hasn't been a lot of opposition to it. > There's been quite a bit of vocal opposition on the forums[1], and it's users who've setup their machines in line with Gentoo docs that this is going to impact. Even the link that was given to Red-Hat discussion about this a while back, showed opposition to the move from their users.
