Hi,
LVM2.2.02.168 (and earlier) has that in Makefile.in
install_dmsetup_dynamic: dmsetup
$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) -D $< $(sbindir)/$(<F)
$(LN_S) -f $(<F) $(sbindir)/dmstats
install_dmsetup_static: dmsetup.static
$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) -D $< $(staticdir)/$(<F)
$(LN_S) -f $(<F) $(sbindir)/dmstats
This results in
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 4. Dez 12:33 /sbin/dmstats -> dmsetup.static
… while the target for that link is
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1252120 4. Dez 12:33 /usr/sbin/dmsetup.static
I suppose the second link command should create $(staticdir)/dmstats.
Regardless of whether your /sbin is a link to /usr/sbin or the other
way round, this seems more proper. I am not sure if we want to enforce
the link pointing always to the static binary if they end up in the
same directory.
Anyhow, I attached the trivial patch that avoids a broken symlink.
Alrighty then,
Thomas
