Johanna Amann commented on BIT-1437:
------------------------------------
Actually - you might have misunderstood me there -- the broken symlink is by
default present after a bro make install.
Packaging utilities often refuse to ship broken symlinks -- which requires the
manual fix to make it appear in a system exactly as it does after a bro "make
install". I assume the same thing happens with homebrew.
In any case, needing a broken symlink is kind of awkward in any case.

> file or directory
> {code}
> Broctl assumes that broctl-config.sh will always exist. Apparently the other
> binary bro packages have workarounds to ship an initially broken symlink for
> this file. We could probably work around this for homebrew, but I think I
> have a fix that will just ignore a missing file initially.
