Package: ant
Version: 1.7.0-6
ant can create links (even dangling links!), but cannot remove them,
it seems. (Or at least, it's not obvious to a newbie like me.)
Removing dangling symlinks is a typical task in "clean" targets, so
it should just work. It's no problem with "make" or "scons".
Try "ant make" with the attached build.xml: It creates a (dangling)
symlink. Try "ant clean1": It says "BUILD SUCCESSFUL", but does not
remove the link. Try "ant clean2": It produces an error: "BUILD FAILED
build.xml:7: java.io.FileNotFoundException: No such symlink: target".
