Same happens here. Guys I've not found a "migration" how to on the forums
neither a major comment in archs Web page.

Probably because the error we are facing is due to the let's say
exploitation of a feature from the system. But now we are in a situation
were I could find no official guideline to solve it.

What are the correct guidelines to adress it? Adding the
ABSROOT=~/abs abs
Seems also evil ie not a proper fix which also might backslash later. What
could I and Marcel do in a first momment to sane our system?
