Grettings: I'm running ln (coreutils) 5.2.1. Assume the link "link" already exists and points to "other_file". Then"ln -sf new_file link" won't trigger any action at all. No error message is uttered either. This is a regression, as it worked before (i.e., the old link was overwritten).
Unfortunately I cannot tell exactly where it was introduced. HTH. -- Till Halbach
