Hi Bela.
Point taken.
cd /usr/gnu/bin
ls -l > /tmp/bob1
custom -> software -> verify system -> Broken/missing symbolic links -> Fix Discrepancies
ls -l > /tmp/bob2
vi /tmp/bob1 /tmp/bob2 and modify contents to delete "^.* HH:MM "
diff /tmp/bob1 /tmp/bob2 > /tmp/bob3
Bob3 contains diff results files of he same name with different symlinks

Example from bob5 (edited):

Note that both gnutools5.0.7Kj and MP5 were removed in that order
and reinstalled as MP5 and then gnutools-5.0.7Kj in that order.

Background: The system is used as a test bed for installing
Open Source packages that may be usable on my client's systems.
I have 5.0.6 on one 18G disk and 5.0.7 on a 36G disk.
Some development to compile and install GnuGPG was performed
on 5.0.6 using oss646b, gwxlibs, and gnutools 5.0.7Kj.
5.0.7 was first installed to test SCO Office server
product. Then 5.0.7 was blown away and reinstalled when the
original Office Server was rejected by my client.
The current installation of 5.0.7 was performed on Sep 2, 2004
It started on an 18G SCSI drive and has been migrated to the present
36G SCSI drive. SCO Dev System was installed on 5/3/2006.
SMP (for practice adding SMP to a running system) and MP5 (to get
Hyper Thread support without SMP license) was installed on 8/22/2006.
I begin working to install MailScanner on 8/19/2007 with little success
using the SCO Dev System tools and MP5 provided gwxlibs.
I then re-installed gnutools-5.0.7Kj to get gcc and recompiled MailScanner
with more success then with the SCO DevSys.
The installation history of this system is shown in /usr/lib/custom/customDBCache
as it existed before I begam working on MailScanner (restored to
/tmp/usr/lib/custom/customDBCache from 10/22/2006 root file system backup):

Another oddity: When custom has pointed all symlinks to gnutools/5.0.7Kj
running ls -l results in dates being displayed as YYYY-MM-DD for all
dates even today's date:
