/usr/bin disappeared. Do we really follow FSSTND?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
A friend of mine has a machine on the net whose /usr/bin directory has
disappeared. The machine has a Debian mirror, so any package is
available to be installed again, however:
`dpkg' was in /usr/bin, so currently there is no package manager.
`ftp' was also in /usr/bin, so if the machine would not have a Debian
mirror, no package could be downloaded (they may be "uploaded", however).
`ar' was in /usr/bin so if you want to uncompress a .deb package by hand,
you can't.
Question: Would not `dpkg', `ar' and `ftp' have to be in /bin
instead of /usr/bin?
[ FSSTND says /usr/bin are just "Binaries that are not needed in
single-user mode", ha, ha... ]
Thanks.
