 Reviewing this, I can't reproduce with the details, so I think 6 years
 later we can say that a test case or project showing the issue to be
 Django's is probably needed.

 This has happened twice on our CI server, but I'm not sure how.

 Relevant settings:

 {{{
 STATICFILES_DIRS = ('/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/project-pr-
 endtoend/workspace/frontend/dist',)
 STATICFILES_STORAGE =
 'django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestStaticFilesStorage'
 STATIC_ROOT = '/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/project-pr-
 endtoend/workspace/project/static'
 STATIC_URL = '/static/'
 }}}

 Collectstatic command:

 {{{
 django-admin collectstatic --noinput --clear --link
 }}}

 (Possibly run several times in a row, with the same or different static
 files.)

 We ended up with `'/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/project-pr-
 endtoend/workspace/project/static/img/icon-sd3b7ad043d.png'` which was a
 symlink to itself.

 This prevented gunicorn from starting because we use whitenoise to serve
 static files, whitenoise scans the entire static directory on startup, and
 it couldn't `stat` a self-referential symlink.

 This is quite surprising because:

 - If I clear the directory and re-run collectstatic, I cannot reproduce
 the issue
 - I expect --clear to wipe the directory first
 - I don't expect --link to create a self-referential symlink

 (This may end up as needsinfo if I don't dig into the details and we can't
 figure out the bug from the code. But even then it may help someone who
 stumbles upon the same problem.)
