[Bug 1886300] Re: rename.ul refuses to rename links that don't resolve (regression)

[Mauricio Faria de Oliveira]

Hi Seyeong!

Thank you for taking this LP bug. 
I'm setting myself as sponsor for once you have the debdiffs ready.

Please note that Eoan is EOL now, so please feel free to adjust it.

And it would be great to have this reported to Debian as well, since
it's an upstream bug/fix.

Please let me know if you'd like pointers about the procedure to report
bugs to the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS).

cheers,
Mauricio
