bug#28927: ln -fs dir name doesn't force

[Sven C. Dack]

Hello,

I've noticed the -f or --force option of ln doesn't seem to work.

$ ln --version

$ mkdir foo bar
$ ln -s foo baz
$ ls -l baz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 sven sven 3 Oct 21 19:15 baz -> foo
$ ln -fs bar baz
$ ls -l baz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 sven sven 3 Oct 21 19:15 baz -> foo
$ ln --force -s bar baz
$ ls -l baz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 sven sven 3 Oct 21 19:15 baz -> foo
$

The link should have been set to "bar" with the "-f" or "--force" 
option, shouldn't it?

Cheers
