https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D254489 --- Comment #2 from Yuri Victorovich <yuri@freebsd.org> --- > The -F option checks if your last argument is a directory and if it is, i= t removes it only if it's empty (see code below). But this isn't what ln(1) says: > -F If the target file already exists and is a directory, then remove > it so that the link may occur. The target of the link in this case is a file .x/ls and it doesn't exist. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
