Yes, I pressed Y and I get invalid link

Of course, I gave you real time situation with screenshots and real
directories.
Thank you for noticing, maybe that is exactly the problem, so the
directory:
/home/data1/protected/Media/Pictures/Pictures
is actually symlink to:
/home/data1/protected/Work/2nd-Dynamic/Division_3/Dept_9/Pictures
Maybe it is related to calculation of the relative symlink.

I use it frequently too and this is first time that I have encountered
this.
