Not sure if this is a bug or feature (or even Linux specific).
address@hidden:30pm]~(937) ls foo bar
ls: foo: No such file or directory
ls: bar: No such file or directory
address@hidden:31pm]~(938) ln -s foo bar
address@hidden:31pm]~(939) rm bar
rm: remove symbolic link `bar'? y
address@hidden:31pm]~(940) ln -s foo bar
address@hidden:31pm]~(941) rm -f bar
address@hidden:31pm]~(942) rm --version
rm (fileutils) 4.1.9
address@hidden:31pm]~(943) touch foo
address@hidden:32pm]~(946) ln -s foo bar
address@hidden:32pm]~(947) rm bar
In the dangling symlink case, should it be prompting about removal?
