Re: [cobalt-users] Software update for those who aren't receiving from the list (fwd)

[Carrie Bartkowiak <ravencarrie@xxxxxxxx>]

Here's what happened when I installed the log patch on top of my manual fix:
The package changed my symbolic link for the reports folder in /usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/ to point to /home/.cobalt/report.
Due to the manual fix, it was previously pointing to /home/webdata.

Going and checking out the spiffy new /home/.cobalt folder, I find out that the 'report' folder there is yet another symbolic link pointing to - you guessed it - /home/webdata.

>From shell:
while in /usr/admserv/html/.cobalt:
Pre-package: report -> /home/webdata
Post-package:  Sep  5 07:43 report -> /home/.cobalt/report
[root .cobalt]# cd /home/.cobalt
[root .cobalt]# ls -la
total 2
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Sep  5 07:43 .
drwxr-xr-x  19 root     root         1024 Sep  5 07:43 ..
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 Sep  5 07:43 report -> /home/webdata

Sheesh. Ring around the rosie. At least it didn't break anything.
