In my Arch linux box julia is installed with 2 broken links:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/julia/{base,extras} lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 May 30 14:18 base -> /tmp/yaourt-tmp-jos/aur-julia-git/src/julia/base lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 May 30 14:18 extras -> /tmp/yaourt-tmp-jos/aur-julia-git/src/julia/extras
The folder /tmp/yaourt-tmp-jos/aur-julia-git/ is a temporary folder where julia was built from source.
The broken links are copied by "make install", which copies the contens of lib/julia with cp -r. Adding a -L option to the cp command would fix the issue.
(edit: deleted patch, I couldn't get it to format properly)
