#453: Formaline deletes files if lib and src are symlinks ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: barry.wardell | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Comment (by barry.wardell):
Here is a simple test case which reproduces the problem:
mkdir dir1 mkdir dir1/dir2 touch dir1/dir2/file ln -s dir1/dir2 dir3 perl -e 'link dir3, dir4' rm -rf dir4
This only happens on my Mac - when I try it on Damiana, dir4 is a symlink as it should be. So this seems to be triggering some weird behavior/bug in perl's link command.
