Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)

When installing a X cursor theme containing symlinks in the archieve, those are replaced by empty files
Comment 1 Gunter Ohrner 2005-12-04 15:24:09 UTC 
Confirmed: I justed wanted to report this against KDE 3.4.2 where this bug is also present. Seems to cause wuite abit of confusion in the forums of kde-look.org... ;)
Comment 2 William Hilton 2007-12-01 02:55:52 UTC 
I just tested installing cursor themes in KDE 4 (using kde4daily) and this issue appears to be resolved. I don't know if it has been backported.
Comment 3 Jens Luetkens 2010-05-12 17:54:19 UTC 
Agreed, obviously resolved by dfaure in karchive.cpp Sep 21 2007. #116431 is a duplicate of bug #84938 and possibly some others.
