Package: liferea
Version: 1.8.6-1
Severity: normal
I am keeping my config files under version control, and (for various unrelated
reasons) elected to move the feedlist for liferea and then create a symlink to
its new location. Upon running liferea the symlinks for feedlist.opml and
feedlist.opml.backup have been removed and replaced with a file containing the
data at the linked location.
*** Steps to reproduce:
###
# clean up
rm -rf ~/.liferea_1.8/
rm -rf ~/.liferea_moved
# create default config
liferea
# move the config files
ls -l ./.liferea_1.8/
mv ~/.liferea_1.8/ ~/.liferea_moved
mkdir ~/.liferea_1.8
# link to the config files in the new location
cd ~/.liferea_moved/
for file in *; do
ln -s ~/.liferea_moved/$file ~/.liferea_1.8/$file
done
# test
ls -l ~/.liferea_1.8/
liferea
ls -l ~/.liferea_1.8/

As you can see the links (for feedlist.opml and feedlist.opml.backup) have been
removed and replaced with normal files. This does not allow me to manage my
config files as I would like. As far as I am concerned symlinks should be
transparent to liferea.
Thanks.
