Once you specify the trailing slash, it's no longer talking about the symbolic link: it's talking about the directory that the link points to. It's a bit like specifying a trailing "/.". For example: $ ln -s . dir $ rm dir/ rm: cannot remove `dir/': Is a directory $ rm dir/. rm: cannot remove `.' directory `dir/.' $ rm dir $ _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
