Description Johann-Nikolaus Andreae 2006-02-28 14:16:19 UTC
Version:           3.5.1 (using KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.8-default

If i create a new folder with the same name as a broken symlink, i get the error massage that the folder can not be created. But not reason way!

confirming for 3.5.5
"Could not make folder FOO." Is what the user sees.
Contrast that with what you see when trying to create a folder where a folder with the same name exists:

"A folder named FOO already exists."

I am able to reproduce it in trunk 20080507.
