In Debian and Ubuntu, there are some patches that change the rustc/fonts directory to a symlink to the system fonts. This triggers a latent bug in linkchecker, as the DirEntry filetype isn't a dir but later on the file itself, when opened, is one, triggering an unreachable!() clause. This patch fixes the situation by using std::fs::metadata, which goes through symlinks. I'd have added a test case but `tidy` doesn't seem to like symlinks, and moreover I'm not sure how Git deals with symlinks on Windows. Signed-off-by: Simon Chopin <simon.chopin@canonical.com>
