Folks:

I need help in figuring out, how to remove stale symbolic links from /dev?.

We removed kernel module '/kernel/drv/sctp{6}' as it was no longer required. As part of the removal we made necessary changes to the manifest files by deleting all the entries referring to the module and the modules '.conf' files.

After image updating to the above changes, all the kernel module and associated configuration files are gone. However the following symbolic link still continues to exist.

# ls -alth /kernel/drv/sctp*
ls: cannot access /kernel/drv/sctp*: No such file or directory

# ls -al /dev/sctp*
  lrwxrwxrwx /dev/sctp -> ../devices/pseudo/s...@0:sctp
  lrwxrwxrwx /dev/sctp6 -> ../devices/pseudo/sc...@0:sctp6

# ls -al /devices/pseudo/sctp*
  /devices/pseudo/sctp*: No such file or directory

Shouldn't the symbolic links be removed by 'pkg image-update'.

thanks
~Girish
