 Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2024 9:36 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Protection of symlinks |
 |
|
With each emerge world I get
| Code: | * Messages for package sys-auth/elogind-252.9:
*
* Directory symlink(s) may need protection:
*
* /lib/udev
*
* Use the UNINSTALL_IGNORE variable to exempt specific symlinks
* from the following search (see the make.conf man page).
*
* Searching all installed packages for files installed via above symlink(s)...
*
* 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.
*
* /lib/udev |
What action should I take?
[SOLVED] I followed stefantalpalaru's advice (below). [/SOLVED]

I believe I've done this.
| Code: | $ eselect profile show
Current /etc/portage/make.profile symlink:
default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr/desktop/plasma |

How does the result of ls -l / look?
Mine is:
| Code: | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 7 10:29 bin -> usr/bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 28 2019 boot
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 3860 Jun 22 08:17 dev
drwxr-xr-x 63 root root 4096 Jun 22 08:32 etc
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 1 2019 home
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 7 10:29 lib -> usr/lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 7 10:29 lib64 -> usr/lib64
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 16 14:28 media
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 14 2019 mnt
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Apr 28 21:18 opt
dr-xr-xr-x 325 root root 0 Jun 22 2024 proc
drwx------ 6 root root 4096 Jun 22 08:19 root
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 580 Jun 22 08:19 run
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 7 10:29 sbin -> usr/bin
dr-xr-xr-x 11 root root 0 Jun 22 08:44 sys
drwxrwxrwt 9 root root 12288 Jun 22 08:39 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Jan 7 10:29 usr
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 May 1 08:55 var |

Banana's output comes from a merged-usr system, so OP's split-usr system should look different.
OP: what is the output of namei -l /{,usr/}{bin,lib} /lib/udev? |

It's not just an eselect command, there's a whole procedure. If you did it you would remember, not just believe. It was just too big to miss it. Did you run the emptytree emerge?

I remember this (long) procedure and ran emptytree as part of it. |

This was a while back and my system ran smoothly until recently. At the moment I can't emerge world nor boot into KDE. |

emerge world is fixed. Here's my latest symlink message:
| Code: | Messages for package net-misc/networkmanager-1.46.0-r1:
* 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.
*
* /lib/systemd
* /lib/udev |
Should I change my profile to default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/plasma (stable)
to get rid of this error? |

I silenced those silly warnings by adding this to "make.conf":
| Code: | | UNINSTALL_IGNORE="/lib/modules/* /lib/udev /lib/systemd" |

| Why are these warnings silly? Is there an ebuild bug that is triggering this? |

Hello all. I have the same as issue as OP, did you solve it?
Should I just mask the warnings as above or is there a better way?
