Bug ID: 415723
Summary: Ark doesn't preserve symlinks in zip files
Product: ark
Version: 19.04.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Reporter: jman012...@gmail.com
CC: rthoms...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After unpacking a zip file with symlinks using Ark, the symlinks appear as
regular files and don't point anywhere.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a test directory
2. Create any file within the directory
3. Create a symlink to the file
4. Create a zip archive (I did this with the `zip` utility, not sure if results
are different when using Ark)
5. Delete the original files
6. Extract the zip archive using Ark
OBSERVED RESULT
Symlinks appear as regular files instead of symlinks.
EXPECTED RESULT
Symlinks should be preserved as links to their target files.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 31, kernel 5.3.16
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0
Qt Version: 5.12.5
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tested extracting the same archive with the `unzip` utility and the GNOME
archive manager on an Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine and symlinks were preserved
in both cases. I've used previous versions of Ark on zip files with symlinks
successfully.
