update-alternatives: use 'ln -n'
Using the '-n' option (--no-dereference) is a better way to solve the do-not-link-into-directory issue. Using only 'ln -sf' can cause problems on SELinux enabled hosts when target is inaccessible; e.g. when preparing an offline rootsystem: | $ cd <offline root> | $ ln -sf /lib/systemd/systemd sbin/init # alternative #1 | $ ln -sf /bin/busybox sbin/init # alternative #2 | ln: accessing `sbin/init': Permission denied | | --> strace: | brk(0) = 0x102b000 | stat("sbin/init", 0x7fffaa91c900) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) | ... | exit_group(1) = ? Now with '-n': | $ ln -snf /bin/busybox sbin/init | lstat("sbin/init", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=20, ...}) = 0 | lstat("sbin/init", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=20, ...}) = 0 | stat("/bin/busybox", 0x7fff8c1a3bd0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) | symlink("/bin/busybox", "sbin/init") = -1 EEXIST (File exists) | unlink("sbin/init") = 0 | symlink("/bin/busybox", "sbin/init") = 0 The '-n' flag is well supported (coreutils have it at least since 1999, busybox at least since 0.60.3 (2002)) and it obsoletes the explicit check whether target is a directory.
