A symlink will fix it but another question is why that symlink doesn't 
exist already. In the avahi package I have installed myself (built from 
SBo repo) that symlink already exists - its explicitly created in 
avahi.SlackBuild. However it needs to be installed by the correct tool 
(installpkg, upgradepkg etc.) since the link is inserted by the 
doinst.sh script. If you did an explodepkg or something else like that, 
the symlink wouldn't be created.
