- Some months ago University of Toulouse changed any lists with a different 
French and
   English name from being duplicate files to being a file plus a symlink.
- Doing a restore from a backup with symlinks into a system with only file names
   resulted in a symlink trying to be created when a file with the same name 
already
   existed causing a failure.
- This failure stopped the restore part way through resulting in only a partial 
restore.
- This patch removes all entries in the urlfilter blacklists, allowing all 
restored
   entries to be created.
