If the unlink fails, there's only really a problem if the subsequent open() fails to overwrite the file --- and that stanza is perfectly capable of complaining for itself. So I think the code is fine and there's no need for a separate message about the unlink. Refusing to proceed, as you've done here, is strictly worse than what we have. regards, tom lane
