Package: dump Version: 0.4b37-1 Severity: normal Hi,
comparing my freshly restored test system with the backup per "restore -C" yields thousands of modified files which have their modes changed from 0755 to 0700. This affects exactly all symlinks. Okay, I just found out that the permissions aren't functional at all with symlinks, but then I wish that 1) it were documented -- it isn't, right?, 2) "restore -C" wouldn't cry out loud that tons of files were modified.
