<pre>My /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ has a number of symlinks like:
dhcpcd.service -> /usr/lib64/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service
How I got these is another story that needs investigating. But now I have a
symlinks that are invalid per filesystem rules and completely valid per systemd
rules. If I run some kind of stale symlink search, it would catch those and
likely want to remove them.
Could you consider doing some kind of 'symlink update' run within systemd? That
is, while doing the usual readlink() magic and unit search, compare whether the
canonical unit path matches the symlink target and rewrite the symlink if it
doesn't?</pre>
