[1] is a packaging error. pnmtoplainpnm is a bash script, and the link is in this form in the binary tarball. > Is this different behaviour ('ls -l /bin' / 'ls -l /usr/bin') to be > expected? Well, yes. Since the links are relative, doing "ls -l /bin" will attempt to find the files in /share, which doesn't exist. These are also packaging errors because, again, the links exist in the relative form in the binary tarballs (I've only checked the cvs tarball, but I assume webcheck has the same issue). This may be a cygport bug as well. Good catch.
