Description Tomáš Hozza 2013-10-08 13:56:27 UTC

Description of problem:
As of Fedora 17, the top level directories /bin and /sbin are just symlinks
to /usr/bin /usr/sbin. However net-tools installs all of its binaries to
those top level directories.

Since we have Fedora 19 already I would expect "yum provides /usr/bin/netstat" to tell me which package provides netstat binary. However because net-tools
installs binaries into top level dirs, this is not possible.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
net-tools-2.0-0.6.20130109git.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum provides /usr/bin/netstat
2. yum install net-tools && rpm -ql net-tools

Actual results:
/bin/netstat
/sbin/arp
/sbin/ether-wake
/sbin/ifconfig
/sbin/ipmaddr
/sbin/iptunnel
/sbin/mii-diag
/sbin/mii-tool
/sbin/nameif
/sbin/plipconfig
/sbin/route
/sbin/slattach
...

Expected results:
/usr/bin/netstat
/usr/sbin/arp
/usr/sbin/ether-wake
/usr/sbin/ifconfig
/usr/sbin/ipmaddr
/usr/sbin/iptunnel
/usr/sbin/mii-diag
/usr/sbin/mii-tool
/usr/sbin/nameif
/usr/sbin/plipconfig
/usr/sbin/route
/usr/sbin/slattach

Upstream decided some time ago that ifconfig & route should be in /bin instead of /sbin. I've been moving them back to /bin up to now but I think it's time to be in sync with upstream so correct would be:

/usr/bin/ifconfig
/usr/bin/route

back to /sbin
