Package: okular Version: 4:16.08.2-1+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The following perfectly-legitimate, common, use of symlinks works with *all* programs that don't go out of their way to *break* it. Okular manages to do this wrong, presumably by trying to do filesystem operations without, you know, talking to the filesystem. #!/bin/sh set -e mkdir -p /tmp/okular-bug/ cd /tmp/okular-bug/ mkdir -p bar/baz echo 'Hello, World!' > bar/hello.txt ln -sf bar/baz foo cat bar/hello.txt okular bar/hello.txt cat foo/../hello.txt okular foo/../hello.txt -Ben -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, x32, arm64 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-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 okular depends on: ii kde-runtime 4:16.08.3-2 ii libc6 2.24-10 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3.1 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.1-2 ii libkdecore5 4:4.14.26-1 ii libkdeui5 4:4.14.26-1 ii libkexiv2-11 4:15.04.3-1 ii libkio5 4:4.14.26-1 ii libkparts4 4:4.14.26-1 ii libkprintutils4 4:4.14.26-1 ii libkpty4 4:4.14.26-1 ii libokularcore7 4:16.08.2-1+b1 ii libphonon4 4:4.9.0-4 ii libpoppler-qt4-4 0.48.0-2 ii libqca2 2.1.1-4+b2 ii libqimageblitz4 1:0.0.6-4+b2 ii libqmobipocket1 4:16.08.0-1 ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqt4-declarative 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqt4-svg 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqt4-xml 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libsolid4 4:4.14.26-1 ii libspectre1 0.2.8-1 ii libstdc++6 7-20170407-1 ii phonon 4:4.9.0-4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages okular recommends: ii cups-bsd 2.2.1-8 Versions of packages okular suggests: ii ghostscript 9.20~dfsg-3 ii jovie 4:16.08.0-1+b1 ii okular-extra-backends 4:16.08.2-1+b1 ii poppler-data 0.4.7-8 ii texlive-binaries 2016.20160513.41080.dfsg-2 pn unrar <none> -- no debconf information
