I have tried to rebuild world but I still end up with an empty /usr/local.. Prior to upgrading from 8.0-RELEASE, the directory has the usual files and directories, but after the upgrade, its empty.

I'd like to avoid a reinstall, which is why I was wondering if there is a way I can get this directory back with its files and directories. > -------- > > Sorry for top-posting, Android won't let me quote.
