ls: /usr/sbin/rmt: No such file or directory

      /usr/lib/include points to somewhere that does not exist
      /etc/rmt points to somewhere that does not exist

      Various of those language files C, POSIX and en* point to english - but there is no file called "english" or even "english.UTF8"

      I just noticed this when using grep to search through stuff for strings on 2.2.3-DEVELOPMENT. I did not remember noticing it before, but I went to a 2.2.2-RELEASE system and it has the same, so this is not new.

      And now I realise I usually do the find with "-type f" which skips these - that is why I have not noticed it.

      Care factor quite low, so I haven't bothered with a Redmine bug report, but maybe someone would like to clean this up in the build.

      As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
