Ah, I forgot to write that this only works with CONFIG_FEATURE_NON_POSIX_CP=y When that is unset it fails at the top of ask_and_unlink() with `cp: can't create 'ln_dst': File exists` without also setting `-f` (But I don't know posix and assume that's the expected behaviour even if coreutils with POSIXLY_CORRECT doesn't fail like that? ... And anyway, alpine sets the build config, so I didn't bother digging further at this point) Thanks, -- Dominique Martinet | Asmadeus _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] https://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
