Description (last modified by mascguy (Christopher Nielsen))
As part of my routine port upgrade workflow, symlinks -t -r /opt is run to identify faulty symbolic links. And this has uncovered a not-insignificant number of ports with this issue.
Faulty links should be identified and flagged by MacPorts, during port installation. And we should also consider failing the installation.
Near-term, perhaps we could add "Have you run symlinks -t -r ${prefix} ?" to the list of items in the pull request form?
