From time to time,
7zip
invoked byxaprepare
with an error similar to:The problem is that this symlink is not a dangerous one, as it doesn't
point outside the archived directory tree.
This happened on mac, Windows and Linux alike.
Try to work around the issue by using an undocumented
-snld
7zip optionwhen extracting ZIP archives. Since the option is understood only from
7-Zip
20.x, check the version before using the argument.
