Description
Bubblewrap gives me a very strange error when trying to start Steam (fresh installation):
## STR
```
$ flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
bwrap: Can't make symlink at /var/home/rugk/Musik: File exists
```
## Expected
I have no idea why it even mangles with my home folders, what does it have to do with that? After aall, it should not even have access to any files (yet, in $HOME), which is a good thing IMHO:
**Edit:** Ah no, wtf – why does it have/need to have access to pictures and music?

The thing is, I already have a symbolic link there (deliberately done because that's how I sync my music via Nextcloud), so it likely fails because of that:
```
$ ls -la /var/home/rugk/Musik
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 rugk rugk 16 5. Jun 2020 /var/home/rugk/Musik -> Nextcloud/Musik/
```
