[Error] ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/xdg-open': File exists

[juhp]

Describe the bug
I tried to enter my centos-stream 8 distrobox.
But it now fails with the above error in the podman log.
Known issue?

To Reproduce
Not sure - might not be reproducible with a fresh box, but I can try.

Expected behavior
Shouldn't try to create symlink if it already exists.

Logs
distrobox enter -v centos-stream8

podman logs centos-stream8

(How to inline the logs?)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Are you using podman or docker? podman
• Which version or podman or docker? podman-4.6.0
• Which version of distrobox? distrobox-1.5.0.2

Additional context
Fedora Linux 38

Hi @juhp yea we needed to add -f the symlink, in order to execute even if a previous symlink was done

This is fixed now in last commit 👍

[juhp]

Thanks! Are you planning to do a new release?

[89luca89]

Yes but first I'm reviewing the last bugs I want to try and fix some of them before the release
