Apparently these are no longer needed on my system and not removed at some point upgrading the system. I regularly read the elogv Did I miss it? And these should indeed be just removed since they are no longer needed?

There are often many orphaned files in /etc - side-effect of CONFIG_PROTECT. Install portage-utils and run: 'qfile -o $(find /etc)' as root to find orphans.
Thanks Jeremy for your reply I do have that set it is CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc/portage/" but I do see your point thinking that this should have been removed when changing to baselayout2 and should get a note in elogv when it becomes deprecated or documented in the upgrade guide. When I run the script you suggested it finds such files as /etc/fstab (ouch)here is an incomplete list; while some of these maybe orphans I think I'd rather keep the majority of them I will attach the output since it's quite long for a comment bugzilla says
Created attachment 256151 [details] orphans
typically the style is something like: <tab>if [ -x /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled -a -c /selinux/null ] \ <tab><spaces>&& selinuxenabled; then you also dont need the line continuation marker
err, wrong bug ... ignore that comment
Every system I've upgraded to openrc has this broken symlinks. Before baselayout/openrc goes stable it's good idea to fix this somehow...
This is not a bug in openrc. The issue apparently is baselayout-1 leaving some symlinks behind, and this should be fixed in baselayout-1. I do not see either of those links on my system. I don't remember whether or not I deleted them manually. I will look at testing a stage 3 upgrade to openrc to see what happens.
I just confirmed: - the two symlinks mentioned in the summary of this bug are, in fact, owned by baselayout-1.x. I confirmed this by looking at the contents of a stage 3 tarball. Then I set up a stage 3 chroot and upgraded it to openrc and discovered that these symlinks are in fact left behind and point nowhere. Base-system, I guess the question is, do we want to try to remove them some how when baselayout-1 is removed from a system?
Probably safe to do so in the postinst phase of the openrc ebuilds.
yes, that's about the only sane way i think. as mentioned, i dont think this is a bug in baselayout-1 but a side effect of CONFIG_PROTECT. if baselayout owns the files in CONTENTS and `emerge -C` leaves them behind, then i cant really fault the baselayout-1 ebuild.

Ok, I have updated the openrc live ebuild to remove these links. Thanks, William
I am re-opening this to dupe it.
