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 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86lfkri876.fsf@protected.rcdrun.com> (raw)
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.
