            Bug ID: 275449
           Summary: certctl: changed link flags lead to inconsistencies
                    when installing into non-standard DESTDIR
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: d8zNeCFG@aon.at

Scenario:
- Virtual machine with UFS / and /usr (separate)
- In it, FreeBSD main at 51e7276365bad2871257ef121cead2c19bcd7434
- Running buildworld buildkernel
- Running installkernel installworld DESTDIR=/usr/tmp/x (the intent is to
install to a temporary directory first to view the changes to the current
installation)

Result:
- The files in /usr/tmp/x/etc/ssl/{certs,untrusted} are hard links to the files
in /usr/tmp/x/usr/share/certs.
- However, the files in /etc/ssl/{certs,untrusted} are (and should be) symbolic
links to those in /usr/share/certs.
- Blindly copying what is in /usr/tmp/x to / would break the hard link,
resulting in duplicate regular files.

The root cause is that in certctl, the argument to "install" has been changed
from "-lrs" to "-lm", leading to destination-dependent results. For the sake of
consistency it would be good to revert this particular change.
