![]() You wanted to use ln -n -s --force ... Yes, it works :-D, Thanks a lot! But, maybe manpage, help and info should note that (but it would be an upstream enhancement anyway). Also, it's true that man says: -f, --force remove existing destination files Then, this is probably invalid Sorry for the noise |
