Subject: [PATCH] backup.pl: Fix issue with University of Toulouse change
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 18:40:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260605164020.3661242-1-adolf.belka@ipfire.org> (raw)
- Some months ago University of Toulouse changed any lists with a different French and
English name from being duplicate files to being a file plus a symlink.
- Doing a restore from a backup with symlinks into a system with only file names
resulted in a symlink trying to be created when a file with the same name already
existed causing a failure.
- This failure stopped the restore part way through resulting in only a partial restore.
- This patch removes all entries in the urlfilter blacklists, allowing all restored
entries to be created.
