In /bin, there's:
--($ /bin)-- ls -la /bin/bz*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 25. Mar 15:30 /bin/bzcat -> bzip2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 25. Mar 15:30 /bin/bzcmp -> bzdiff
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2128 25. Mar 15:30 /bin/bzdiff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 25. Mar 15:30 /bin/bzegrep -> bzgrep
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 25. Mar 15:30 /bin/bzfgrep -> bzgrep
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1830 25. Mar 15:30 /bin/bzgrep
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 616404 25. Mar 15:30 /bin/bzip2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 539540 25. Mar 15:30 /bin/bzip2recover
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 25. Mar 15:30 /bin/bzless -> bzmore
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1259 25. Mar 15:30 /bin/bzmore
IMO, the following should be moved to /usr/bin, because the gzip and lzo
counterparts (eg. bzgrep vs. zgrep vs. lzgrep) are stored there as well.
Please move:
- bzegrep
- bzfgrep
- bzcmp
- bzdiff
- bzgrep
- bzless
- bzmore

I would counter that logic by saying app-arch/gzip is at fault - all these
should be in /bin so that they are available in single user mode, when /usr may
not be available.
Whatever :) My point is, that the apps should "behave" consistently. Ie. I
don't care much if all the stuff is in /bin or in /usr/bin. I care only about
the fact, that some stuff from gzip+lzop is in /usr/bin and in /bin, while all
the stuff from bzip2 is in /bin.
If you decide to move all the stuff from gzip+lzop to /bin as well, then I'm
happy as well ;)
fixed with bzip2-1.0.5-r1
