Deleting the name referred to by a symlink will actually delete the file (unless it also has other hard links). If this behaviour is not desired, use link. right? Is this new? If not, why weren't my symlinks erased when the pointed files were? Talking about "man", you reminded me another place where leftover symlinks are felt. nr# man symlink Updating index cache for path `/usr/man'.
