Comment (by ryandesign):
It is perhaps a bit unusual, but there is nothing inherently incorrect
about a port installing a symlink to something that does not exist. There
may be valid reasons to do so. If you find individual ports doing this and
it appears to be erroneous, please do file bug reports about those ports.
Replying to [ticket:61813 mascguy]:
> Near-term, perhaps we could add "Have you run `symlinks -t -r ${prefix}`
?" to the list of items in the pull request form?
When I run that, I get:
{{{
-bash: symlinks: command not found
}}}
Where does this command come from?
