No, its not a bash-4 issue. The shell can't expand blah.* to anything so it is treated literally. I'm 95% sure that this is expected coreutils behavior given that -f is not for creating symlinks, only removing. -f, --force remove existing destination files This bug is invalid. This is how ln has always worked. |
