Dear bug-fileutils,
Not quite sure what's the correct way to submit a bug fix but...
Here is a patch for src/ln.c, fileutils 4.1:
227c227
< && (backup_type == none || !symlink)
---
> && (backup_type == none || !symbolic_link)
Here is the behavior of ln before the patch:
$ > k
$ ./ln -f --backup k k
./ln: creating hard link `k' to `k': No such file or directory
and after the patch:
$ ./ln -f --backup k k
./ln: `k' and `k' are the same file
Regards,
Frederik Eaton
