Package: marble Version: 4:16.04.1-3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
marble has for ages disabled symlinks traversal in a great part of the local cache code. I know for certain that developers have decided to do so to avoid user reports related to dangling symlinks (sorry, I can't find a reference now). This bug report is to see if the Debian maintainers agree this is wrong. Attached you'll find a patch that removes all the references to QDir::NoSymLinks from the code. I tested it and it works fine now. I will keep having this patch around, but I hope you find it useful too, so everyone else can profit from it, and I don't have to recompile marble from time to time :) Cheers, -- Marcos. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (700, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages marble depends on: ii libc6 2.24-3 ii libgcc1 1:6.2.0-6 ii libkf5configcore5 5.26.0-1 ii libkf5configgui5 5.26.0-1 ii libkf5configwidgets5 5.26.0-1 ii libkf5coreaddons5 5.26.0-3 ii libkf5i18n5 5.26.0-1 ii libkf5kiowidgets5 5.26.0-1 ii libkf5newstuff5 5.26.0-1 ii libkf5parts5 5.26.0-1 ii libkf5runner5 5.26.0-1 ii libkf5widgetsaddons5 5.26.0-1 ii libkf5xmlgui5 5.26.0-1 ii libmarblewidget-qt5-24 4:16.04.1-3 ii libqt5core5a 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5dbus5 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5gui5 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5network5 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5printsupport5 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5widgets5 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5xml5 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libstdc++6 6.2.0-6 ii marble-data 4:16.04.1-3 ii marble-plugins 4:16.04.1-3 marble recommends no packages.
