You are right, this is due to a bug in older versions of pyxattr. It seems to have been fixed in pyxattr 0.2.2. Unfortunately Ubuntu 6.06 and Debian 4.0 supplies slightly older versions; 0.2 and 0.2.1, that is. When I installed the most recent version of pyxattr on an Ubuntu 6.06 system it had no trouble properly handling extended attributes on symlinks. -- Andreas Olsson http://www.andreasolsson.se/
