Public bug reported:
Earlier today I installed
linux-headers-3.13.0-59
linux-headers-3.13.0-59-generic
linux-image-3.13.0-59-generic
linux-image-extra-3.13.0-59-generic
and after that some applications, most notably steam, started to behave
strange, e.g. in steam installed software was "invisible" and the application
install dialog stated "Disk Space Available: 0"
Counter checks by booting some older kernels (48 to 58) fixed that
behaviour. A very quick cross check with another system seem to prove
this observation.
I do an educated guess: my steam is sitting on /archive/steam so I can
share it over network and local users. /archive is a soft link to
/home/archive coz I often move this one around a lot. I have the odd
feeling kernel -59 is having issues with soft links and/or steam is
handling soft links in a weird way which broke with -59. All other
software affected is somehow connected to soft links, be it a small
"readlink" from bash or postgresql.
Sorry for being a bit vague right now, more details after I return from
work and have time to experiment with avoiding soft links while using my
affected applications.
