https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin#Scope
lists 9 packages that was aware of that use usermode.
$ dnf5 repoquery -l $(dnf5 repoquery --whatprovides '/usr/sbin/*' --qf
'%{name}\n') | rg '/usr/s?bin/' | sed -r 's|(.*)/([^/]*)$|\2|' |
sort | uniq -c | rg -w 2
says that /usr/sbin/{makemap,rpcinfo,rpcbind,sestatus,udevadm}
"shadow" files in /usr/bin. But those are all symlinks, i.e. they will
need just to be dropped to prevent a FTBFS. I added this list with
four packages to the Scope section.
Thanks, but I think the query does not produce
all possible results, as I know for a fact that there is
a package (exabgp) that has both a /usr/sbin/exabgp-healthcheck
and a (different) /usr/bin/exabgp-healthcheck file
(which is why I prompted my query, as I expect
there might be others (I plan to fix exabgp)).
