Thanks, both of you, for your response. I am re-emerging coreutils, just |
| 5 |
in case. Done. |
| 6 |
The commands are below - and in summary here is what happens. |
| 7 |
- PATH is shown. My own .bin directory has two mp3 ripping scripts. That |
| 8 |
is all. "/usr/bin" comes before "/bin" in PATH |
| 9 |
- "/bin/ln" is a proper executable. "/usr/bin/ln" and "/usr/bin/mc" are |
| 10 |
both symlinks to "/bin/ln" [Not good] |
| 11 |
- Removed mc from "/usr/bin" and "/usr/bin/ln" disappears as well [Not |
| 12 |
good] Then "which ln" shoes "/bin/ln" and "which mc" shows no mc. |
| 13 |
- Creation of symlink /usr/bin/ln automatically creates symlink |
| 14 |
/usr/bin/mc - pointing to /bin/ln [thus affecting my midnight |
| 15 |
commander]. Both symlinks have same inode number on my filesystem. Also |
| 16 |
note that I do not have another definition of ln as an alias. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
This may be a filesystem inconsistency. I would consider an fsck for |
| 19 |
reiserfs and may be a rebuiltree. What do you say? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Please help. |
| 22 |
Thanks, |
