Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkdir /tmp/foo/ 2. cd /tmp/foo/ 3. ln -s ../too where ../too does not exist. 4. touch -h --date=2015-01-01 too 5. tmpwatch [--quiet] --mtime --fuser 48 /tmp/foo/ Actual Results: The dead link "too" is removed but the warning "Specified filename ./too does not exist." is printed in both cases (with or without --quiet option). Expected Results: Remove "too" quietly in both cases (with or without --quiet option).
