From: Zdenek Dohnal Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2020 13:37:46 +0100 Subject: Ignore symlinks when installing plugins External scripts, which are downloaded and run by hp-plugin, try to create links in non-existing dirs. These scripts ignore errors, so plugin is installed fine but then internal hp-plugin can check for plugin state, where links are checked too. It results in corrupted plugin state, which breaks printer installation by GUI hp-setup. Temporary workaround is to ignore these bad links and real fix should come from HP, because their external scripts try to create links in non-existing dirs.
