Over-writing symlinks

[Dale Whitfield]

Hi,

I would like to avoid the following situation:

SRC has:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 1596328 2005-04-29 17:34 libc-2.3.3.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff     193 2005-04-29 17:34 libc.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff      13 2007-02-05 15:06 libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.3.so

DEST has:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dale dale 1558836 2008-02-07 12:25 libc-2.3.6.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 dale dale     193 2008-02-07 11:46 libc.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 dale dale      13 2008-02-07 11:42 libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.6.so

If I run:

rsync --ignore-existing -avn SRC DEST

output shows the following is to be written to DEST

libc-2.3.3.so
libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.3.so

How do I avoid libc.so.6 being over-written to point to an old lib?

Using Debian: rsync  version 2.6.9  protocol version 29

Dale.
