Closing due to lack of response.

I didn't see any modifications made, I can't say it's been fixed.

  • I downloaded the Solus 3 budgie desktop from the Solus site (2018-03-15)
  • created a vmware virtual machine, installed Solus using default options
  • installed all updates & rebooted

--> Yes, there are still some broken links.
