Package: qiv
Version: 2.1~pre12-5a0.mrvn.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I tried running "qiv -u ." and noticed that qiv behaves badly with
symlinks, esspecially symlinks that create a cycle:

open("./chroot/sid-clean/lib64/modules/2.6.31.6-xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/modules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/modules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/modules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/modules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/modules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/modules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/modules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/modules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/modules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/modules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/debian/linux-image-2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/lib/mod
 ules/2.6.31.6--xen-2010.02.18/build/net", 
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC <unfinished ...>

Maybe -u should not follow symlinks, only follow symlinks that point
outside the search directories or simply don't scan directories it has
already scanned (checked by inode/device number). If you think the
default behviour is ok then please add something like a --no-symlink
option.
