<PRE>'Twas brillig, and JA Magall&#243;n at 29/01/13 00:03 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> Hi...
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> After a test with symlinks -r, I discovered I had /etc/rc.d full of
</I>&gt;<i> dangling symlinks, due to services moved to systemd.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Should an update of initscripts clean them (symlinks -rd /etd/rc.d) ?
</I>&gt;<i> I suppose this will also happen when people updates mga2 to mga3...
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I also discovered what seem like leftovers from previous conversions in
</I>&gt;<i> /etc/rc.d/init.d:
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> - dm (native prefdm exists)
</I>&gt;<i> - irqbalance (package includes both, native and sysv)
</I>&gt;<i> - linux_logo (same, native+sysv)
</I>&gt;<i> - lm_sensors (idem)
</I>&gt;<i> - mpd (idem)
</I>&gt;<i> - mysqld (idem)
</I>&gt;<i> - portreserve (idem)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> - netconsole (package is not even in the repos)
</I>&gt;<i> - partmon (idem)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Are we in time to correct these for Mageia 3 ?
</I>&gt;<i> And to switch the remins to systemd, like resolvconf or postfix ?
</I>
The fact that both exist is a minor annoyance at the moment I think.
Would certainly be nice to remove them if the maintainers have the
time/inclination, but it shouldn't affect the system.

As for the dangling symlinks, yeah we should really fix that. I guess a
generic file trigger would maybe work? You have to be somewhat careful
as the symlinks can sometimes be &quot;broken&quot; when on a chroot (although 99%
of the time, they are all relative).
