#61813: macports base: faulty symbolic links should be flagged, perhaps by rev-
upgrade

-------------------------+--------------------
 As part of my routine port upgrade workflow, `symlinks -t -r /opt` is run
 to identify faulty symbolic links. And this has uncovered a not-
 insignificant number of ports with this issue.

 It would be ideal if faulty links were identified and flagged by MacPorts
 itself. (Even if it's simply a matter of executing `symlinks` in test
 mode, and filtering the output.)
