Description John Dodson 2019-01-20 23:54:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
/usr/lib/.build-id is still full of broken symlinks

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dnf.noarch                         4.0.9-2.fc29

How reproducible:
Almost every package creates new broken symlinks

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look in /usr/lib/.build-id for broken symlinks
2. look again after some package updates
3. keep looking...

Actual results:

Broken symlinks in /usr/lib/.build-id
Expected results:
No broken symlinks in /usr/lib/.build-id

Additional info:
I really still don't get why packages must create broken symlinks especially if they are so critical to debugging. Surely the package responsible for the target in responsible for the symlink.
