Hi David,
you reported the problem described above a long time ago and got
not response. I took over the feh package now and just would like
to say sorry for leaving your problem ignored in the first place.
I verified that this problem exists but I wonder in how far it
can be considered as a problem of severity "normal". I regard
your problem as very special and not really a specific feh problem -
I guess many programs who are reading a list of files show this
as well. Moreover I dislike your suggested solution 1)
"Links should not be followed (limits functionality)" - just
because it really limits the functionality just to circumvent
a quite artifically constructed corner case (I never had a need
to link to /proc/self - is there any practical relevance?).
My suggested way to deal with the bug would be to reduce its
severity to wishlist. If you would provide a patch which implements
your suggestion 2) I'd happily include it. I personally prefer
to work on the other problems of the package which seem to reduce
the functionality of feh more. Or did I missed anything an
just underestimated the problem. Feel free to correct me if
I'm wrong.
Kind regards and thanks for reporting problems in Debian anyway
Andreas.
