Bug Description
Earlier today I installed
linux-headers-
linux-headers-
linux-image-
linux-image-
and after that some applications, most notably steam, started to behave strange, e.g. in steam installed software was "invisible" and the application install dialog stated "Disk Space Available: 0"
Counter checks by booting some older kernels (48 to 58) fixed that behaviour. A very quick cross check with another system seem to prove this observation.
I do an educated guess: my steam is sitting on /archive/steam so I can share it over network and local users. /archive is a soft link to /home/archive coz I often move this one around a lot. I have the odd feeling kernel -59 is having issues with soft links and/or steam is handling soft links in a weird way which broke with -59. All other software affected is somehow connected to soft links, be it a small "readlink" from bash or postgresql.
Sorry for being a bit vague right now, more details after I return from work and have time to experiment with avoiding soft links while using my affected applications.
