Description:   Opened: 2004-01-28 03:18 0000 
After installing coreutils-5.0.91-r4 /bin/install is a symbolic link to
/usr/bin/install 
install is needed quite early in the boot process. I have /usr in a seperate
partition that is not mounted at that time.
So I get the following errors:

/sbin/rc line 262: install: command not found
/sbin/rc line 299: install: command not found
ln: creating symbolic link `/mnt/init.d/softscripts.new/bootmisc` to
``/etc/init.d/bootmisc`: No such file or directory

The last one repeats lots of times with different files.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Either have the link the other way round (/usr/bin/install -> /bin/install) or
simply have the file twice.

------- Comment #1 From bartron 2004-01-30 17:21:21 0000 ------- 
  Is `/sbin/rc' really the only place where install is used in all 
possible installations?  In both lines mentioned above install is 
only used to create a directory with specific permissions...both 
POSIX and GNU mkdir mandate/support `-p' and `-m', so 

  install -d -m 0755

could be replaced by

  mkdir -p -m 0755

.  (seems cleaner because `mkdir' is always in `/bin' (and in bash) 
while most Linuxes have `install' in `/usr/bin').

Azarah -- is comment #2 a viable option in your opinion?

------- Comment #3 From solar 2004-02-04 23:55:40 0000 ------- 
My name is not Azarah but I think comment #2 is fully a viable option in my
opinion.

------- Comment #4 From atom 2004-02-05 00:45:01 0000 ------- 
/sbin/depscan.sh also uses install

------- Comment #5 From Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2004-02-08 03:42:11 0000 ------- 
Fixed in CVS.
