Bug ID: 47319
Summary: Wine 4.9 does not dereference symlinks
Product: Wine-staging
Version: 4.9
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
Reporter: kanakkshetri at gmail.com

Distribution: ---
I have a symbolic link ~/Audio/hello.flac that is pointing
/mnt/audio/hello.flac . I have also set ~/Audio to be Y: in wine.
Prior to the 4.9 release, windows applications, such as Wine File Manager or
foobar2000 version 1.4.4 ( http://foobar2000.org) would dereference that
symlink and see that it is a 30Mb file that is a valid flac audio file.
With 4.9, file manager shows the size as 0 and foobar2000 cannot read the file
at all. I am on Fedora 30, where a dnf downgrade took me back to 4.5-1, where
this works as expected.
I have verified this on two different machines, using Wine File Manager as well
as foobar2000. I have also seen the same behavior in Fedora 29 (with Wine 4.9),
so I don't think it is OS specific.
Additional context:
- my data is on an XFS file system
- the symlinks are present because the data is managed by git annex (
https://git-annex.branchable.com/ )
- However, i can repro the problem without involving git annex merely by
creating symlinks.
Please let me know if there is any additional details I can provide or
experiments I can run locally. Thank you for the great work on wine.
