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.
