Package: thunderbird Severity: normal In my system ~/.icedove is a link:
% ls -lar | grep -E '.(icedove|thunderbird)' lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 12 Apr 24 2012 .icedove -> data/icedove After running the wrapper script I end up with this links: ls -lar | grep -E '.(icedove|thunderbird)' lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 12 Apr 24 2012 .thunderbird -> data/icedove lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 12 Apr 24 2012 .icedove_moved_by_thunderbird_starter -> data/icedove As you can see, both symlinks are pointing to the same directory. The expected result is to have the original profile left untouched in .icedove_moved_by_thunderbird_starter. Things to keep in mind when fixing this, as the user did this intenionally in most cases: * $HOME/data might be a mountpoint and the profile does not fit on the filesystem of $HOME. In this case it could be a good way to do all work relative to `readlink -f ~/.icedove`/.. * $HOME/data/icedove might be a mountpoint as well. In this case the wrapper should abort. People who are doing this should be able to fix it themselves. -- ifu Hamburg - material flows and software "We enable sustainable production." ifu Hamburg GmbH Max-Brauer-Allee 50 - 22765 Hamburg - Germany fon: +49 40 480009-0 - fax: +49 40 480009-22 - email: [email protected] Managing Director: Jan Hedemann - Commercial Register: Hamburg, HRB 52629 www.ifu.com - www.umberto.de - www.e-sankey.com
