Public bug reported:

I have my dotfiles in a separate folder and I symlink some files, for
instance ~/.config/mimeapps.list .

At first it appears as a symlink, then I run the following command:
"xdg-mime default qutebrowser.desktop text/html"
and the symlink gets overwritten as its own file.

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
