Summary

0000067: 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
#
