Bug: notmuch new chokes on dangling symlinks and quits

[Gregor Zattler]

Dear notmuch developers,

notmuch new quits operation if it hit's a dangling symlink:


Error reading file /home/grfz/notmuch2/Mail/findex/cur/123456789.684055.mairix:2,: No such file or directory
Note: A fatal error was encountered: Something went wrong trying
to read or write a file Processed 85 total files in 1s (47
files/sec.)


I consider this to be a bug.  Instead notmuch should simply
ignore the symlink.

This is especially problematic while indexing a huge amount of
mail the first time and notmuch hits the dangling symlink at an
early stage of indexing.


Ciao, Gregor
