[SOLVED] minor bug pgawk and gawk sym links 64 bit

Hi

In trying to work out what went wrong with something I am building I tend to use MC terminal file manager.
It displays broken links in red

on LXQt 64 bit you may be interested in the following

Code: Select all

file /usr/bin/pgawk
/usr/bin/pgawk: broken symbolic link to `pgawk-4.1.0'
file /usr/bin/pgawk-4.1.0
/usr/bin/pgawk-4.1.0: ERROR: cannot open `/usr/bin/pgawk-4.1.0' (No such file or directory)

file /usr/bin/gawk
/usr/bin/gawk: symbolic link to `../../bin/gawk'

file /bin/gawk
/bin/gawk: symbolic link to `gawk-4.1.0'
file /bin/gawk-4.1.0 
/bin/gawk-4.1.0: ELF 64-bit LSB  executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
I may be wrong but maybe /usr/bin/pgawk should sym link to /bin/gawk-4.1.0 ?

Thanks. I believe everything should be linked to /bin/gawk to survive version bumps.
How do i become super user?
Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.
