I am getting messages like the one below from portage every now and then.
Especially, about /var/run, but in this case about a different directory:
* Messages for package dev-libs/klibc-1.5.20:
* One or more symlinks to directories have been preserved in order to
* ensure that files installed via these symlinks remain accessible. This
* indicates that the mentioned symlink(s) may be obsolete remnants of an
* old install, and it may be appropriate to replace a given symlink with
* the directory that it points to.
*
* /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm
*
Perhaps I am having a senior moment, but I am not clear what I should do
despite the friendly message. This is the symlink in question:
ls -la /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Nov 8 2008 /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm -> asm-x86
How am I supposed to *replace* it with the directory that it points to?
