Hi All,
Two programs that will over write your links with the actual file:
softmaker-freeoffice-2018-2018-982.x86_64 Anything running under wine
By links do you mean URLs, hard links, symlinks, something else? By "over write" do you mean replace? What is the context of this?
poc
"ln -s xxx yyy"
I just tested Wine Staging and they fixed it. Yipee!!
wine-staging64-6.1-1.1.x86_64
And I just got word back that Softmaker 2021 (the paid version) also overwrites links.
Win one, lose one.
Neither of the packages you cite are Fedora supplied packages.
I also seems as if, since you have a very generic ln example, that these foreign packagers overwrite *all* symbolic links no matter where they exist.
Besides, your ln example without any context gives this as the result
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ln -s xxx yyy [egreshko@meimei ~]$ file yyy yyy: broken symbolic link to xxx
