I've just noticed odd behaviour when deleting a symlink which points to a directory. If you include a trailing forward slash on the symlink, (ala tab completion) the symlink cannot be removed.
Look: [pimpbox] ~/info/rhn: mkdir something [pimpbox] ~/info/rhn: ln -s something nothing [pimpbox] ~/info/rhn: ls -lh nothing lrwxrwxrwx 1 william william nothing -> something/ [pimpbox] ~/info/rhn: rm nothing/ rm: remove directory `nothing/'? y rm: remove directory `nothing/'? y rm: cannot remove directory `nothing/': Not a directory Without the trailing slash, rm works as expected. [pimpbox] ~/info/rhn: rm nothing rm: remove symbolic link `nothing'? y [pimpbox] ~/info/rhn: ll -lh nothing ls: nothing: No such file or directory Not the end of the world, but I really hate adjusting my routine (or typing style) for such basic functionality. =( I have verified this issue on 3 different rh8.0 installations on 3 separate machines. If anyone has insight or specifically cannot reproduce this behaviour, I would love to hear about it. Cheers, William -- William Lanning ** RHCE ** Confuse and Conquer **
