Having a symlink in place results in an error message if the file exists, and no error otherwise. This way an unprivileged user can check for the existence of any files on the system as root.</p> <p><strong>Affected:</strong> Canonical aptdaemon</p> <p>There is no input validation on the Locale property in an apt transaction.
