Package: fs-uae-launcher
Version: 2.4.1+ds-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

fs-uae-laiuncher instantly quits with:

   Exception: could not find case for path /root/FS-UAE

/root being the corretc home directory. I tried all remedies in 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=750355,
i.e. I deleted ~/FS-UAE (which was created by fs-uae), I don't have the 
user-dirs.dirs or related files in ~/.config
and I deleted ~/.config/fs-uae*, all to no avail.

strace'ing fs-uae-launcher gives:

   stat("/root", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=24576, ...}) = 0
   stat("/root/FS-UAE", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=6, ...}) = 0
   stat("/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
   openat(AT_FDCWD, "/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
   stat("//ROOT", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
   openat(AT_FDCWD, "//ROOT", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

and indeed, having a completely unrelated /ROOT symlink caused the
problem. Apparently, fs-uae-launcher has some very broken case test (/ROOT
and /root do not point to the same directory). Since debian doesn't
support case-insenstive installations (also not for home dirs), I would
suggest simply removing this bogus test.
