[arch-general] brltty - Detected unsafe path transition /etc → /etc/brlapi.key Howto Fix?
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.

cc'ing David, if everything works as intended he should see this message twice. I have that file also. its content is a number in ASCII text. https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/brltty/trunk/br... is what triggers that message . Does that match the permissions of the file on your system ? Lone_Wolf

Lone_Wolf =============================== Yes, thank you for pointing the permissions out, but they are 0640, e.g. $ l /etc/brlapi.key -rw-r----- 1 root brlapi 33 Oct 19 2016 /etc/brlapi.key Seems like this message popped up in the last couple of weeks.
