Hello,
There is a bug in lftp mirror command. If a nonempty directory X on a
serwer is removed and then replaced with a symlink, lftp attempts to remove a
local copy of X with 'rmdir', which fails with ENOTEMPTY.
The fix is obvious.
Sample transcript at the end of the message. The (current) version
2.5.1 is also affected.
BTW, 2.3.8 required external "rm" binary; is it true as well in case
of 2.5.1 ?
Save yourself,
Nergal

Now, on 10.0.0.1, we remove ~ftp/pub/somedir and make it a symlink to
someotherdir (rm -fr ~ftp/pub/somedir; ln -s someotherdir
~ftp/pub/somedir). Subsequent mirroring fails:
owl!root:~# lftp -c 'o 10.0.0.1 && mirror pub -v --delete'
