Inspecting the file attributes shows it is set as Read-only. A simple attrib -r *.lnk fixes it.

That said, the link files are broken anyway as they are hard coded to G:\Program Files\Regex\man\....

fixed at https://github.com/maphew/apt/commit/f3540a18c06416a7f3faa2fa908bc342d7910e5d

however today I noticed a knock on effect: even though the readonly file is removed from the file system and the installed-files-list successfully, that removal is not reported to console:

{{{B:\code\apt>attrib b:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll A B:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll

B:\code\apt>attrib +R b:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll

B:\code\apt>attrib b:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll A R B:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll

B:\code\apt>apt remove iconv iconv removing iconv 1.9.1-1 removed: B:\o4w\include\iconv.h removed: B:\o4w\lib\iconv.lib

B:\code\apt>attrib b:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll File not found - B:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll }}}
