My own stupidity
Even as an experienced Linux user I sometimes fall into traps which reveals my own stupidity.
I tried to setup my smime configuration today to use it with my mailer. The command involved in it was smime_keys. This command had a little bug. A small workaround was posted on the debian bugs mailinglist:vsauer@zaphod: ~ > ln -s . "~" vsauer@zaphod: ~ > l -tr "~"
The workaround just creates a link to your own home directory to fool the smime_keys program (What a stupid hack actually).
What happened now, was the fact, that I stopped fixing the not working smime_keys program, because I had other things todo. I removed the link I created by using the workaround above:rm -rf ~Everyone who know how to interprete this command can laugh now ;) Fortunately I was lucky - phew.
