[Bug 120350] Re: [kubuntu] konqueror: cannot create a folder if a file of the same name already exists

Actually this is expected behaviour on Linux.

You cannot have a file and a directory with the same name (on file
system level, both, normal files and directories are 'files' and two in
a directory can not have the same name), just as you cannot have two
directories or two text files with the same name.

You will find this restriction not only when using Konqueror but with
every file manager or the command line because it's intrinsic to
Linux/Unix file systems.

I will thus mark this bug report as 'invalid'. If you disagree and still
think this is a bug, please feel free to reopen this report. Thank you.
