Will you please explain the -f option? man ln sz 'remove existing > destination files', but I don't know what that means.
It means that, if the destination file (/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3) already exists, then it'll be removed first and then the symlink will be created in its place. Otherwise you'll get: ln: `/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3': File exists ... if it's already there. So 'ln -sf foo bar' is equivalent to 'rm -f bar; ln -s foo bar'.
