Public bug reported:
Configuration files created as symbolic links are overwritten by gnome-
control-center. This probably affects any configuration file managed by
gnome-control-center.
Test case:
----------
1.) Create symbolic links of the following files
sudo mv /etc/default/locale /etc/default/locale.test && sudo ln -s
/etc/default/locale.test /etc/default/locale
sudo mv /etc/default/keyboard /etc/default/keyboard.test && sudo ln -s
/etc/default/keyboard.test /etc/default/keyboard
sudo mv /etc/hostname /etc/hostname.test && sudo ln -s
/etc/hostname.test /etc/hostname
2.) Change the language, the keyboard layout and the hostname in gnome-
control-center.
Expected result:
The link destination should be overwritten so that the symbolic link is
preserved.
Actual result:
The symbolic link itself is overwritten so that the symbolic link is lost.
** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
