Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: 1.96.0 (RPM from the Microsoft repo)
  • OS Version: Fedora 41

The %post scriptlet in the RPM spec file deletes /usr/local/bin/code even if it doesn't belong to a previous vscode installation. This is very irritating because it's the easiest way to append arbitrary command line arguments such as --ozone-platform=wayland system-wide. Please either add some validation before deleting it, or just stop deleting it altogether.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install a script at /usr/local/bin/code which launches /usr/bin/code with extra arguments
  2. Reinstall the RPM file provided by Microsoft
  3. /usr/local/bin/code is now deleted
