Package: tmpreaper
Version: 1.6.13+nmu1
When a protect pattern is specified, dangling symlinks are not
protected by the pattern, they are deleted instead. This is due to a
bug [1] in the glob() implementation of glibc. Could you please either
fix the issue or at least document the bug in the man page?
