Note that I'm not the one who has this problem, but my understanding is that it happens when the ~/.config/fish is somewhere under a Windows junction, not a symlink. > If you truly mean `junction` then the issue is yours to fix. It's true that the user could avoid the problem by changing their file systems so that ~/.config/fish isn't under a junction point. But I don't think they should have to do that. To me it seems like a bug that rename2() is failing when the target file is under a junction point. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
