Look at the package symlinks

Paul E Condon

pkg:symlinks

Usage

symlinks -d . | sed -n '/^deleted:/p'

Info

scan/change symbolic links

Description

Symlinks scans directories for symbolic links and lists
them on stdout. Each link is prefixed with a classification
of relative, absolute, dangling, messy, lengthy or other_fs.

 Symlinks can also convert absolute links (within the same filesystem)
 to relative links and can delete messy and dangling links.
