Allen [CGL]) Organization: Computer Graphics Laboratory, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Date: Wed, 20 Feb 1991 04:37:10 GMT Lines: 39 /usr/etc/subsets/UDTBIN410.inv has this entry: 0 19 00000 0 0 120777 8/28/90 410 s ./usr/sys/machine/mips/io/tc ../../../io/tc/mips UDTBIN410 This is wrong and creates a symlink that points nowhere. It should be: /usr/sys/machine/mips/io/tc -> ../../../io/tc as should most of the symlinks in that directory. Or perhaps all the /usr/sys/io/* directories are missing their "mips" subdirectories. The scsi one has a mips subdirectory, and is thus correct. In fact, the Ultrix 4.1 (RISC) /usr/include/ stuff for the system is full of dangling symlinks that point nowhere, e.g. /usr/include/machine: Unsatisfied Symbolic Links: dist h sas sys /usr/include/machine/fs: Unsatisfied Symbolic Links: gfs nfs specfs ufs /usr/include/machine/io: Unsatisfied Symbolic Links: bi ci gvp mba msi netif scs sysap tc uba vme xmi /usr/include/machine/net: Unsatisfied Symbolic Links: ccitt dli lat net netbsc netdnet netimp netinet rpc rpcsvc We are a DS5400 running ULTRIX V4.1 (Rev. 52) -- -IAN!
