[arch-general] /bin symlink breaking fetchmail

[Scott Lawrence]

Hey all,

In short, the latest upgrade seems to have borked fetchmail:

   fetchmail: Error writing to MDA: Broken pipe

Deleting the /bin symlink and creating a /bin directory containing only a 
symlink /bin/sh pointing to /usr/bin/bash, makes fetchmail work again.

Running `strace -vf fetchmail` reveals that the execve("/bin/sh"...) call 
returns EPERM.

I'm well and truly stumped. I'm using courier-mta as my mda, but that 
shouldn't be relevant. Has anybody encountered this?

Thanks,
