The problems fixed by the script are: 1) /vendor got created as a real directory under /, as oppose to under /usr and linked to /. 2) /vendor got created with the wrong permission. This is really unfortunate 'cause the fix to (2) gets applied only if (1) is detected. That's why dragon is stilled not fixed. I'll do that right away. As for the contents under /vendor, I don't know nothing about it. Andy
