Problem with:
ln -s
I remove
/bin/etex
Create link:
ln -s /bin/pdfetex.exe /bin/etex
A link is not created but a copy of /bin/etex.exe
$ ls -al /bin/etex*
-rwxr-x---+ 1 fodorb Felhasználók 280064 Mar 10 15:21 /bin/etex.exe
$ ln -s /bin/pdfetex.exe /bin/etex
$ ls -al /bin/etex*
-rwxr-x---+ 1 fodorb Felhasználók 280064 Mar 10 15:21 /bin/etex
-rwxr-x---+ 1 fodorb Felhasználók 280064 Mar 10 15:21 /bin/etex.exe
If I remove /bin/etex.exe, the link is created successfully.
