I assume by "lfs" you mean Linux From Scratch, which is not Ubuntu or Debian based. Therefore, I've moved this thread to Any Other OS.

I've also changed your title from "Help" to something more informative. It goes without saying that you need help if you are asking a question in a support area. You may find these two threads helpful to you in formulating questions that help others to help you:

Some symbolic link in that directory does not point to a file or directory but rather to another link which leads to infinite recursion.
