[Open-scap] Rules fail due to dangling symlinks

[Jan De Luyck]

Hello list,

In my quest to document our application's state through XCCDF/OVAL, I've noticed that if you have a dangling symlink anywhere, this will cause your test to fail:

D: probe_file: Getting extended ACL for file '/danglinglink' has failed, No such file or directory [probe_file(3267):probe_worker(7f9a2bfff700):file.c:253:has_extended_acl]

Is there a clean way to work around this? I know dangling symlinks 'should not happen', but in reality, they're unavoidable.

Thanks in advance.
