I reworked symlink's error handling so that in my testing I now get the exact same error messages as on Linux: $ rm wqwqwq $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/ ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': No such file or directory $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/. ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': No such file or directory $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/ ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': File exists $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/. ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': No such file or directory $ touch nowhere $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq': File exists $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/ ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': File exists $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/. ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': Not a directory $ rm nowhere $ mkdir nowhere $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq': File exists $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/. ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': File exists $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/ ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': File exists Can you please check against your testsuite?
