Summary: cp -p produces misleading error message
Description:
cp -p produces misleading error message:
# ln -s symlink1 file1
# ln -s symlink2 file2
# busybox cp -p symlink1 symlink2
unable to remove symlink2: no such file or directory
Patch fixes this:
# busybox_fixed cp -p symlink1 symlink2
symlink2 exists
However, we still differ from coreutils cp,
is it worth fixing?
# cp -p symlink1 symlink2
#

My bad, I shoudn't type commands...
ln commands should read:
# ln -s file1 symlink1
# ln -s file2 symlink2
