Comment 29 for bug 1069843

The old directory entry was

ls -la .cache/|grep thumbnails
drwx------ 1 root root 18 Jul 15 01:40 thumbnails

which came from 12.04 or before, I guess. I can't remember to have ever touched this directory manually.

I guess this is the world's most energy consuming missing symlink ever. I expect the number of affected users to be MUCH higher than 129, because this bug was not reported automatically because of an application crash.

Think of environmental pollution, think of energy costs (approx. 30USD per year just for me. Multiply with all users coming from older ubuntu versions), think of battery consumption, noise, heat, cooling, and slowness of affected systems.

This bug MUST have a HIGH PRIORITY and can be fixed so easy.
