Yes, I pressed Y and I get invalid link

Of course, I gave you real time situation with screenshots and real
directories.

Thank you for noticing, maybe that is exactly the problem, so the
directory:

/home/data1/protected/Media/Pictures/Pictures

is actually symlink to:

/home/data1/protected/Work/2nd-Dynamic/Division_3/Dept_9/Pictures

Maybe it is related to calculation of the relative symlink.

I use it frequently too and this is first time that I have encountered
this.

So you say you just confirm the suggested link name and you get an
invalid link?

I noticed that the path to your target dir contains a duplicate
directory file name "/Pictures/Pictures/".  These directories do really
exist like this in your file system, yes?

I try to find out if there is something special in your use case.
Personally I use Y very frequently and have never seen a problem like
this.


Thanks,


Michael.

I have only pressed Y and the symlink is created in such way that it
does not work.

I would need to edit the symlink to make it work, and then I added few
more dots to make it work to show what it should be.

Could it be that you actually used too many ".."s?

Yes, I have reproduced with emacs -Q

I could follow it first time. Now when I review again I cannot follow
it. I have opened xterm inside and I could follow it. Now I opened
xterm and I cannot follow it.

I have noticed that "Y" causes wrong relative symlink, this one here:
S lrwxrwxrwx 1   65 13. Jun 14:51 2020-06-13 -> ../../../../../../public_html/louis.club/media/2020/06/2020-06-13

And it should be this one:
S lrwxrwxrwx 1   71 13. Jun 14:51 2020-06-13 -> ../../../../../../../../public_html/louis.club/media/2020/06/2020-06-13

And I have made that symlink from:

/home/data1/protected/public_html/louis.club/media/2020/06/2020-06-13

to

/home/data1/protected/Media/Pictures/Pictures/Year-2020/06/2020-06-13/2020-06-13
as symlink to /home/data1/protected/public_html/louis.club/media/2020/06/2020-06-13

I guess if you would recreate same directories at your side, you could
reproduce it.

The "Y" I used belongs to dired-x library.

In my opinion the error is in the calculation for relative
symlink.

Jean

Ok, I can see these screenshots now - thanks.

About your issue: does this happen every time (can you reproduce
reliably), and is this with emacs -Q?

And you said that the created link is actually ok since you can follow
it in a shell?  Could you please try if you can follow the link in a
newly started emacs instance?


Thanks,

Michael.

I only get pages saying

  "Error, page not found, yet here are other pages for you"

when following your links.  Can I have done something wrong - or are
they dead links?

Thanks,

Michael.

I have noticed that for some reason, within dired-x library and usage of
"Y" to make a relative symlink, that process fails, it makes the symlink
yet something is wrong, it says it is non-existent target.

Please look into the first step on this picture:
https://gnu.support/images/2020/06/2020-06-13/2020-06-20-13:03:12.jpg

The directory in the bottom window 2020-06-13 should become relative
symlink for other directory.=20

The next step is shown on this picture below. I have turned on the
variable dired-dwim-target, so the upper directory appears there:
https://gnu.support/images/2020/06/2020-06-13/2020-06-20-13:04:35.jpg

The final result is shown on this picture:
https://gnu.support/images/2020/06/2020-06-13/2020-06-20-13:04:54.jpg

Yet, if I now try to enter the directory in the upper window 2020-06-13
I get error message that file is a symlink to a nonexistent target.

However, if I do in the shell from the same directory following:

cd ../../../../../../public_html/louis.club/media/2020/06/2020-06-13

from the same directory, then it works, then I can switch to that
directory, so the target does exists.
