Package: synaptic Version: 0.57.7.1 Followup-For: Bug #334168
Hi, the bug is situated at rpackage.cc, in the function void RPackage::setPinned(bool flag) At the end, rename() is used to move the temp file. the result of renamed is not tested; on my system, it returns -1 with errno 18, which means: "Invalid cross-device link" You may put the temporary file in /var/lib/synaptic/preferences or use a cross-device aware rename library. I have no idea where to find such a cross-device rename library. I looked at rename.c in core-utils but it's quite complicated. g_rename from glib is not cross-device aware.
