locating broken symbolic links

Want to find broken/dead/dangling symbolic links on your system. There are a lot ways to do this but one of the simplest is to use a package called "symlinks".

$ sudo apt-get install symlinks
$ symlinks -r $(pwd)

once installed you will get output like the following:

messy:    FAKE_PATH/Konfabulator -> Konfabulator-Partner-9.10-week3-5.2.6-1-inflated/
dangling: FAKE_PATH/Konfabulator-5.3-1-191083-1250636017/Konfabulator -> /mtd_down/nfs/devices/partner/Konfabulator
