| Broken symlinks Old, broken symbolic links might be sitting around your system; you should remove them. Examples on achieving this can be found here and here. However, you should not blindly delete all broken symbolic links, as some of them serve a purpose [1]. To quickly list all the broken symlinks of your system, use: Code:# find / -xtype l -printThen inspect and remove unnecessary entries from this list. |
