But the split between /usr/bin and /usr/libexec is a new thing in F28
according to your earlier email, right?
Yeah. In current releases the files are hardlinked across
/usr/bin and /usr/libexec. I've never seen any bug reports
about that causing actual problems. I made the change after
noticing the cross-directory hardlink warning from rpmlint.
It should really be an unnoticable change to nearly
everyone, apart from those rare people that want to mount
/usr/bin and /usr/libexec on different file systems
