Re: Re: Possible side effects of --enable-fhs and cfe_internal_update_policy_python_symlink

Is see this: That is danger with --enable-fhs

```
       "$(sys.bindir)/python" -> { "CFE-3512" } 
 

         delete => u_tidy, 
 

         if => islink( "$(sys.bindir)/python" ), 
 

         comment => concat( "We don't want to leave a python that is 
potentially in $PATH ", 

                            "after having re-named our python symlink 
that is used for various ", 

                            "modules");
