Instead of doing this directly could you use the update-alternatives
class please? meta/recipes-connectivity/iproute2/iproute2.inc shows an
example of this. I think it should be something like:

inherit update-alternatives

ALTERNATIVE_NAME = "sendmail"
ALTERNATIVE_PATH = "${sbindir}/mstmp"
ALTERNATIVE_LINK = "${sbindir}/sendmail"
ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY = "100"

Thanks,
