But systems "installed" in such a way will have other problems: ldconfig, alternatives, systemd symlinks, and many other things are created via scriptlets. The bad part is that that chroot will not have the /usr/sbin symlink at all, since it's created via a scriptlet. > So eventually are we planning to remove the script stuff in > filesystem.spec, and replace it with a simple /usr/sbin -> /usr/bin > symlink RPM file entry? Eventually – yes. But I'd like to keep the upgrades from older systems working. If we just change the symlink to be part of the normal payload, rpm would refuse to upgrade. Maybe we can make this work with some %pretrans script that removes the old directory.
