Bug ID: 415723 Summary: Ark doesn't preserve symlinks in zip files Product: ark Version: 19.04.3 Platform: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kde.org Reporter: jman012...@gmail.com CC: rthoms...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY After unpacking a zip file with symlinks using Ark, the symlinks appear as regular files and don't point anywhere. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a test directory 2. Create any file within the directory 3. Create a symlink to the file 4. Create a zip archive (I did this with the `zip` utility, not sure if results are different when using Ark) 5. Delete the original files 6. Extract the zip archive using Ark OBSERVED RESULT Symlinks appear as regular files instead of symlinks. EXPECTED RESULT Symlinks should be preserved as links to their target files. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 31, kernel 5.3.16 KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0 Qt Version: 5.12.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I tested extracting the same archive with the `unzip` utility and the GNOME archive manager on an Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine and symlinks were preserved in both cases. I've used previous versions of Ark on zip files with symlinks successfully. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
