[problem]
You have many symbolic links that point to missing files.
I guess it is all just about good housekeeping! 🙂 Well and the fact your application might break, depending on something being there, that is not.
[/problem]
[solution]
This bit of shell under example tab, deals with them swiftly and sharply. 🙂
Effectively it just does a find from the current directory, then loops around looking for missing files.
[/solution]
[example]
for na in `find . -type l`
do
ls -lLd $na 2>&1 | grep "No such file" |
while read junk delme junk
do
rm ${delme%:}
done
done
[/example]
