http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55653 --- Comment #17 from rens <rens.groenewegen@xs4all.nl> --- wow. approximately the most dangerous thing one can do.. mixing the system bin into the usr bin... what were they thinking ? probably not at all.... lol Oh well, never mind. I fixed up the install script, with tar options of tar --keep-directory-symlink --no-overwrite-dir -xzvf $mixfile which will preserve whatever you might have as dir or symlink to dir tested it, where etc sbin and usr are all links to dirs : = ls -l * lrwxrwxrwx 1 itsme users 4 Apr 25 18:25 etc -> detc lrwxrwxrwx 1 itsme users 5 Apr 25 18:25 sbin -> dsbin lrwxrwxrwx 1 itsme users 4 Apr 25 18:25 usr -> dusr It seems to work. the links are still links.. on my opensuse 15.6, anyway.

What is a usrmerged Linux install?
run "ls -l /sbin /bin"
If it outputs something similar to
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 12 okt 2025 /bin -> usr/bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 12 okt 2025 /sbin -> usr/bin
You're on a usrmerged distro .
On such distros /sbin and /bin are symlinked to /usr/bin . Installing files in /sbin or /bin breaks that setup and can cause issues.
Fedora, Debian and Archlinux have all switched to /usrmerge installs several years ago. No clue about ubunut, sorry .
