Package: coreutils Version: 5.97-5.3 Severity: wishlist
If I have a symlink mylink -> A and I want to change it to mylink -> B I can say ln -sf B mylink However, this only works if A is a regular file. It does not work if A is a directory. Why is this so? The ln command can be used for *creating* links both to files and directories. It would be nice if it could be used (with the -f option) for *modifying* links both to files and directories also. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.42-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.5-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 2.0.15-2 SELinux shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
