Hi,
here is a suggested patch for commons-io that would prevent making the
test in libsis-base-java fail.
Kind regards
Andreas.

directory targets/unit-test-wd/ch.syst
Hi Andreas,
I can confirm that this bug is in commons-io 2.8.0 while commons-io 2.6 workes
fine.
The bug is in PathUtils.deleteFile(), line 360 and 361:
"""
final boolean exists = Files.exists(file, LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS);
final long size = exists ? Files.size(file) : 0;
"""
It determines "exists" based on not following the symlink by using
LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS, but then in the next line uses Files.size(file) to
determine the size which *does* follow the symlink. Kaboom. This will prevent
PathUtils.deleteFile() to delete any dangling symlink (which it has to in my
test case).
I have attached a patch for commons-io 2.8.0 which fixes this bug.
Cheers,
Bernd
