From: Jean Louis <bugs <at> gnu.support> To: 41834 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#41834: 28.0.50; Dired-x: Y makes symlink with error: File is a symlink to a nonexistent target Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2020 13:14:21 +0300
I have noticed that for some reason, within dired-x library and usage of "Y" to make a relative symlink, that process fails, it makes the symlink yet something is wrong, it says it is non-existent target. Please look into the first step on this picture: https://gnu.support/images/2020/06/2020-06-13/2020-06-20-13:03:12.jpg The directory in the bottom window 2020-06-13 should become relative symlink for other directory. The next step is shown on this picture below. I have turned on the variable dired-dwim-target, so the upper directory appears there: https://gnu.support/images/2020/06/2020-06-13/2020-06-20-13:04:35.jpg The final result is shown on this picture: https://gnu.support/images/2020/06/2020-06-13/2020-06-20-13:04:54.jpg Yet, if I now try to enter the directory in the upper window 2020-06-13 I get error message that file is a symlink to a nonexistent target. However, if I do in the shell from the same directory following: cd ../../../../../../public_html/louis.club/media/2020/06/2020-06-13 from the same directory, then it works, then I can switch to that directory, so the target does exists.
