This isn't necessarily a good idea, because those dangling symlinks
may belong to their respective packages. If so, removing them will
compromise the integrity of the package they belong to.
I don't fully understand. Of what use is a link to nowhere?
Let me show you an example.
$ rpm -qV hunspell
$ symlinks /usr/share/doc/hunspell/
dangling: /usr/share/doc/hunspell/README -> README.md
# rm /usr/share/doc/hunspell/README
$ rpm -qV hunspell
missing d /usr/share/doc/hunspell/README
I've started a new thread "dangling symlinks and upgrades" to continue this.
