Descrizione
(Imported from [Trac #924](http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/924), reported by guest on 2012-03-05)
I'd expect symlinks to be created with the program-suffix. Instead what happens is that cabal-install correctly suffixes the installed binary, but attempts to create a symlink to it from an unsuffixed name, which can fail if the unsuffixed name already exists in the symlink-bindir.
~ $ cabal --versionExample:
cabal-install version 0.13.3
using version 1.14.0 of the Cabal library
gruff $ cabal install --program-suffix=-fixed(The symlink already existed in this particular case, because I wanted to install my development program with a suffix to avoid clobbering the known working version.)
...[snip]...
Warning: could not create a symlink in /home/claude/opt/bin for gruff because
the file exists there already but is not managed by cabal. You can create a
symlink for this executable manually if you wish. The executable file has been
installed at /home/claude/.cabal/bin/gruff-fixed
