Comment 11 for bug 109579

Package: gthumb
Version: 3:2.10.2-4
Severity: normal

At last I tried to reproduce it easily! This is a bug I had signaled on
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109579> as a cross-fs linking bug. Now
I just discovered that it can be reproduced on a single ext2 file
system, just by using a complex symlink setup.

Given certain simlinked directory configurations, ghtumb 2.10 does not
display thumbnails. The discussion on launchpad suggests that this is
in fact a problem with the gnome-vfs library or its use in gthumb.

Here are steps to reproduce the problem. The problem comes up only on
the last command, together with libgnomevfs errors.

$ mkdir -p /tmp/pot
$ mkdir -p /tmp/www/pot.it/pot/acquari/stagnetto
$ ln -s /tmp/www /tmp/pot/.
$ ln -s /tmp/pot/www/pot.it/pot/acquari /tmp/pot/.
$ cd /tmp/pot/acquari/stagnetto/
$ cp /usr/share/pixmaps/*/*.jpg . ## this is a total of 22 files
$ gthumb . ## everything good up to now
              ------------- <the following gthumb does not show thumbnails>
$ gthumb $PWD
