The problem is that it really _hasn't_ worked for years, you just never |
| 23 |
saw the problem. |

| 25 |
And that's fine, but when things start randomly breaking in the future, |
| 26 |
if you persist in this type of setup, then you at least will know who to |
| 27 |
blame :) |

Also, again, this is an upstream issue, based on the packages you have |
| 30 |
installed, not anything that has changed in the distro itself. Upstream |
| 31 |
is also working to resolve the issue already, by mounting /usr from the |
| 32 |
initramfs, to keep this sane, so people shouldn't really have to worry |
| 33 |
about this too much, unless they don't use an initramfs... |

good luck, |
