Because that's how the "symlink" system call behaves. It can't easily adjust the link to "work" in the way that you like, because it doesn't have enough information available in general. Consider the case, for instance, where you type "ln -s a b/c/d" and b/c is a symbolic link. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
