Hello,
I found a symlink named os-release in the /etc directory. The package it
points to is owned by filesystem, but I don't know which package the
symlink belongs to. And I think the symlink is world writable by
mistake, but I don't know to whom should I report the bug.
Does anyone know something about this?


Symlinks will appear lrwxrwxrwx, but are not actually writable. (You can only delete and re-create, so it's the permissions of the directory that are relevant.)
