Bug ID: 47971 Summary: Wine "updates" virtual device symlinks by overwriting them Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: yanestra@gmail.com Distribution: ---
For some reason, for many years now, Wine updates the symlinks of the logical drives everytime it detects a version change of itself. This means, your carefully crafted symlinks get lost and the program started doesn't find its data. You have to quit, renew the symlinks and start over. Sometimes, you even have to clean up the destination directories Wine chose, because the clutter doesn't belong there.
Wine should leave symlinks alone, except in the case they're "dangling" i.e. the destination they point to doesn't exist.

$ echo disable > "$WINEPREFIX/.update-timestamp"
may help, though I haven't verified (on mobile).
