The file /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/etc.conf, delivered in the systemd package includes: L /etc/os-release - - - - ../usr/lib/os-release L /etc/localtime - - - - ../usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC Both of the above installs soft-links to non-existing files. On our build non of the below exist: /usr/lib/os-release /usr/share/coneinfo/UTC Having broken links on target is not nice, as it then looks like we have a broken rootfs. Tested with wrl7, rcpl5
