meson, install_megadrivers: Also remove stale symlinks
os.path.exists doesn't return True for stale symlinks, but they are in the way later, when a link/file with the same name is to be created. For instance it is conceivable that the pointed to file is replaced by a file with a new name, and then the symlink is dead. To handle this check specifically for all existing symlinks to be removed. (This bugged me for some time with a link libXvMCr600.so always being in the way of installing this file) v2: use only os.lexist and replace all instances of os.exist (Dylan Baker) v3: handle directory check correctly (Eric Engestrom) Fixes: f7f1b30f81e842db6057591470ce3cb6d4fb2795 ("meson: extend install_megadrivers script to handle symmlinking") Reviewed-by: Eric Engestrom <[email protected]>(v2 minus dir check) Reviewed-by: Dylan Baker <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Gert Wollny <[email protected]>
