[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,
work with Fedora (version 14) and I noticed that the command:

*ln -fs /path/from /path/to*

does not actually remove the target path.
In my case the */path/to* correspond to another symbolic link (*/path/other*
).
Why not work even if given the option *-f* (*--force*) flag?
