Bug #11988: Augeas provider can clobber symlinks
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11988#change-56572

Author: Nathan Huff
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Deepak Giridharagopal
Category: augeas
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.9
Keywords: augeas
Branch: 


If the augeas resource is fed a symlink as the target file and it
makes changes it will overwrite it with a regular file.  It creates
and .augnew file and just blindly moves it into place without checking
if the target file was a symlink.

The provider should either check whether the target was a symlink and 
dereference it or it should rerun augeas in overwrite mode since augeas does
take care to dereference if necessary.
