Yes, there are some messages like that that pop up since the fin command can't access things. Think those are sent to stderr find . -xtype l >badlinks 2>ERR Sends the stderr output to ERR file. Modified script to filter out /proc and /run find . -xtype l >/badlinks 2>ERR grep -v '/proc\|/run' </badlinks >/badlinks-clean Result wc -l badlinks* 672 badlinks 359 badlinks-clean Don't know what the projectM is, but since it has links to ./usr/share/projectM/fonts/Vera.ttf ./usr/share/projectM/fonts/VeraMono.ttf Must assume it thinks they should be there? The Vera.ttf is on my system in ./usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera-sans-fonts/Vera.ttf But not the VeraMono.ttf. Did find other packages that do have that font? So, not clear if in this case projectM expected the fonts to be where it puts the links to, or it whatever did create that directory and fonts no longer exists in Fedora, and they just didn't upate it? Don't know why I looked at that one. Near the end of the /usr ones?? > > There is no /proc/1853 anything.
