Bug #7696

Scripts in bin folder are not located in any directory specified in $PATH after installation

Description

Using setuptools (keyword scripts), the scripts available in bin folder should be executable from the command line [1]. This worked in the past, but nowadays, the new scripts are not located in /usr/local/bin as before. More specifically, the new links are not created.

Based on the date, this might be related to #7041.

    mentat-precache.py
    mentat-reporter.py
    mentat-sampler.py
    mentat-statistician.py
    mentat-storage.py
)

for b in "${mentat_bin_list[@]}" 
do
    if [ -f "/usr/local/bin/${b}" ]; then
        rm -f "/usr/local/bin/${b}" 
    fi
    if [ ! -L "/usr/local/bin/${b}" ]; then
        ln -s "${MENTAT_VENV}/bin/${b}" "/usr/local/bin/${b}"
