Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2019-06-22 07:49:27 UTC
--- /usr/sbin/            
>>> /usr/sbin/halt
>>> /usr/sbin/poweroff
>>> /usr/sbin/reboot
>>> /usr/sbin/shutdown
>>> /usr/sbin/telinit

While regular utilities are in /sbin, and at least some scripts expect them there.  This really isn't how it should be done.  Instead, it should install to the standard location, and block other packages providing sysv-utils.
