[arch-general] brltty - Detected unsafe path transition /etc → /etc/brlapi.key Howto Fix?
by David C. Rankin 06 Sep '20

All, On system update, I get the following related to the brltty[1] package: (2/7) Creating temporary files... Detected unsafe path transition /etc → /etc/brlapi.key during canonicalization of /etc/brlapi.key. error: command failed to execute correctly Apparently this package was installed as a dependency of qemu. I generally do not want to ignore errors on update, so how do I fix this problem? The package was updated August 29, but the issue continues. Should I just delete the key and let qemu start over with a new one in a new location? Checked https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU, but nothing noted.

All, I have no posts from arch-general since 8/30. I have tried to post related to a pacman update issue, but the posts are not getting though?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
