Aborted [bob@torment ln_bug]$ ln --version ln (fileutils) 4.1 However, 4.1.5 shows this output. So I believe it has already been fixed in the latest testing versions. rwp@strife:/tmp/ln_bug: ln -sf libgnome-2.0/libgnome/ libgnome ln: `libgnome-2.0/libgnome/' and `libgnome/libgnome' are the same file rwp@strife:/tmp/ln_bug: ln --version ln (fileutils) 4.1.5 The latest testing version is available here. ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/fileutils-4.1.7.tar.gz Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
