- 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.
