problems removing a symoblic link
i am baffled by this nonsense. i'm trying to remove the symbolic link "/home/jason/tmp" -> /tmp. it's on fedora core with the bash shell.
[1075 root 13:37:07 /home/jason]$rm tmp/ rm: remove directory `tmp/'? y rm: cannot remove directory `tmp/': Is a directory [1076 root 13:37:10 /home/jason]$rmdir tmp/ rmdir: `tmp/': Not a directory [1077 root 13:38:15 /home/jason]$rm -rf tmp/ rm: cannot remove `tmp/': Not a directory |
Can you give the output after cd'ing into your home directory:
ls -al tmp |
There is a known bug in rm (that apparently is a bitch to fix...) that makes removing a sym link of a directory act wierd.

"rm -r tmp" worked. thanks a lot.
