Some packages clearly can not have that done and will have to wait until we are prepared to replace those directories with symlinks.
Once we see how many packages are left, we can start planning to finally get rid of these directories.
Can we think about doing this soon? There is 234 packages left and 453 have been fixed.
I've lost network on 3 hosts by updating them and have systemd services which use /usr/sbin/{ethtool,sysctl}. There is also breakage to fcron users who doesn't take care immediately of .pacnew files. Instead of starting looking at which package can cause breakage or not, launching the final rebuild now will save admin time.
The final transition will be much, much easier if there is fewer packages to deal with. Looking at the remaining rebuilds, a large portion can still be moved without issues. As I said in the rebuild description, mark as complete any packages that need to wait. Allan
