[Bug 2151454] [NEW] Install command is dangerous and bricks installs

[Krish De Souza]

Public bug reported:

Install -D to /bin or /sbin does not respect symbolic links. It creates
a new directory there and installs the files but in doing so wipes
access to all the existing links present in /bin and /sbin ie lsmod,
depmod etc…

Filed a bug upstream with GitHub.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/12166

Obviously an issue with Ubuntu 26.04
