But you do notice that the bug report speaks about a completely other
file than you? That bug occured because of a transition of a symlink
to an directory. And further it was just and error message and did

No, that doesn't happen on my system and somehow the permissions on
your system are broken. I *know* that they're non-broken inside the
packages. Please consider to fix them manually.
