before you create it!"

I undoubtedly can fix bbox cp to match GNU message, but code will be
bigger
and GNU message is still semi-stupid.

For the record: fix should be here:

static int ask_and_unlink(const char *dest, int flags)
{
        ...
        if (unlink(dest) < 0) {

===> if errno == ENOENT or ENOTDIR, explain that *path* is invalid, not
filename <===

                bb_perror_msg("cannot remove '%s'", dest);
                return -1; // error
        }
        return 1; // ok (to try again)
}
