Subject: Installing new cygwin programs, writes over /usr/local/bin link
X-IsSubscribed: yes

Is there any reason why each time a new cygwin program is
installed/updated, the installer overwrites my /usr/local/bin link?

I symlink /usr/local/bin to another location and it gets overwritten
each time.

Is there any way to avoid such behavior?
