Hi folks,


I know that we're in a semi-package freeze right now, so I wanted 
to ask a question about a package that's already been tagged.


root [ /sources/LSB-Tools-0.6 ]# ln -sv /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd 
/usr/sbin
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/sbin/install_initd': File 
exists


This is after running "python3 setup.py install --optimize=1"


I don't think that the ln commands to create the symlink are needed 
anymore:


ln -sv /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /usr/sbin &&
ln -sv /usr/lib/lsb/remove_initd  /usr/sbin


Are there any objections to me removing them?


I think the links are still needed for a first install.  My log 
shows them being created.  we could add -f to the ln command to 
avoid the error message if reinstalling.

This was a first install though, on my new system. I think it might 
be better to do "sfv" though - do you have that in your script?


I do.  I'll update next commit.

No, I fixed that in the installation.
