Bug ID: 47971
Summary: Wine "updates" virtual device symlinks by overwriting
them
Product: Wine
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
Reporter: yanestra at gmail.com
Distribution: ---
For some reason, for many years now, Wine updates the symlinks of the logical
drives everytime it detects a version change of itself. This means, your
carefully crafted symlinks get lost and the program started doesn't find its
data. You have to quit, renew the symlinks and start over. Sometimes, you even
have to clean up the destination directories Wine chose, because the clutter
doesn't belong there.
Wine should leave symlinks alone, except in the case they're "dangling" i.e.
the destination they point to doesn't exist.
