Having actually run this way myself, I did find one case that I |
| 25 |
haven't filed a bug for yet: the plymouth ebuild tries to install |
| 26 |
symlinks in /sbin pointing at /usr/sbin, and portage chose to install |
| 27 |
the symlinks instead of the real files, for whatever reason |
| 28 |
(apparently because the $ED/sbin directory is created after the |
| 29 |
$ED/usr directory). Because of this, it might be best to ensure that |
| 30 |
packages that do install in both places are modified not to do so |
| 31 |
under such a configuration. |
