      Description of Problem

      Red Hat Insights has been reporting RHEL 7, 8 and 9 servers with [The system is unable to boot when missing /bin related components|https://console.redhat.com/insights/advisor/recommendations/bin_components_missing%7CBIN_COMPONENTS_MISSING_V2] advisory. We checked some of these systems, but there are no missing /bin related components as noticed by Insights.

      #  ls -ld /bin /usr/bin
      lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     7 Jun 21  2021 /bin -> usr/bin
      dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 24576 Jan  6 01:12 /usr/bin
      

      Also, we restarted that systems and all started successfully.

      How reproducible

      Always

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Register a host with Insights
      2. Ensure it is on latest core

      Actual Behavior

      Noticed false positive recommendation : "The system is unable to boot when missing /bin related components "

      Expected Behavior

      The recommendation should not be flagged on the host as the '/bin -> /usr/bin' symbolic link does exists on the host.

      Business Impact / Additional info

      Too many production systems were reported with this issue. We need to clarify if it's a real trouble in order not to impact our critical mission systems.
