Description Horst Prote 2015-05-19 15:11:13 UTC

Even with option --quiet tmpwatch writes messages
"Specified filename .... does not exist." when removing a dead symbolic link.

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).
