There are 3715 symbolic links on the RT RVD. 2605 of them are in
/usr/lib/font. These should be hard links like they used to be (AFS has a
bug that makes hard links fail between directories; the AFS packs need
symbolic links if AFS is not fixed before the next release). This will save
over a megabyte of space. A better solution would be to fix the software
that depends on the files being duplicated. 835 symbolic links are in
/usr/man. I don't know if catman would do the right thing if these were hard
links.
Links that we don't need:
/usr/new/lib/X -> /usr/lib/X10
/usr/lib/olc -> /site/usr/lib/olc
/usr/ucb/ftp -> /bin/ftp
/usr/ucb/telnet -> /bin/telnet
/usr/ucb/netstat -> /bin/netstat
/usr/root -> ..
Links that are wrong:
/usr/include/ca -> ./machine should be -> machine
/usr/include/caio -> ./machineio should be -> machineio
/usr/include/cacons -> ./machinecons should be -> machinecons
/usr/include/caif -> ./machineif should be -> machineif
/usr/ucb/edit -> /usr/ucb/ex should be -> ex
/usr/ucb/e -> /usr/ucb/ex should be -> ex
/usr/ucb/vi -> /usr/ucb/ex should be -> ex
/usr/ucb/view -> /usr/ucb/ex should be -> ex
/usr/athena/emacs -> /usr/bin/X/emacs emacs should be in /usr/athena
or the link should be to
/usr/bin/X11/emacs
/usr/athena/usermaint -> /usr/athena/moira should be -> moira
/usr/athena/listmaint -> /usr/athena/moira should be -> moira
/usr/athena/dcmmaint -> /usr/athena/moira should be -> moira
/etc/zoneinfo/Australia/NSW -> Australia/Victoria
should be -> Victoria
