#1744 introduced a lot of regressions into how vcpkg installs ports, particularly around handling symlinks and files we can't read.
Previously, all calls to the filesystem looking at the packages tree explicitly ignored errors. However, in #1744 recursive directory enumeration and opening the files to write hashes was added with the "crash on error" VCPKG_LINE_INFO forms.
This exposed some latent bugs in how we handle symlinks in recursive enumeration (which is good!).
