Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: shivanshrai84@gmail.com CC: jilles@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 183435 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D183435&action= =3Dedit Log file generated from executing `truss -o ln.log ln -sF A B` I was trying to make a kyua based test for the '-F' option of ln(1). Steps to reproduce - This was the command which I ran successfully - ``` mkdir A B truss -o ln.log ln -sF A B # '-f' is assumed to be present by default ``` Actual results - It so happens here that even though the target directory B exists, neither unlink nor rmdir is being called [ideally rmdir should be called as specifi= ed in src/bin/ln/ln.c (line 307)]. The output of the above command is that B contains a broken symbolic link A= to A. I used truss(1) to trace the system calls when executing the above command = and have attached the log file. As it can be seen in the log file, the rmdir sy= stem call is missing. Expected results - I think the expected behavior should be that directory B is deleted and a n= ew symbolic link B is made to A. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
