Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.
This is not a bug, but the expected behaviour. 'ln a b' will create ' b'
as a *hard* link to 'a'. If you want a *soft* link, you should use the
'-s' (or the long-name equivalent, '--symbolic'). Please see either 'man
ln' for a short explanation of the 'ln' command, or 'info ln' for the
full documentation.
>From the beginning of 'info ln':
"`ln' makes links between files. By default, it makes hard links; with
the `-s' option, it makes symbolic (or "soft") links."
Closing INVALID (not a bug).
