This creates a "dist" symlink *inside* the 389-console/ directory, which is a 
wrong structure:

> [mareynol@fedora 389-console]$ ls -la ~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console/
> total 4
> drwxr-xr-x. 1 mareynol mareynol  8 Nov 29 13:09 .
> drwxr-xr-x. 1 mareynol mareynol 22 Nov 29 13:09 ..
> lrwxrwxrwx. 1 mareynol mareynol 68 Nov 29 13:09 dist ->
> /home/mareynol/source/ds389/389-ds-base/src/cockpit/389-console/dist

What you want is ~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console → 
/home/mareynol/source/ds389/389-ds-base/src/cockpit/389-console/dist

I.e. do this instead:

  rm -r ~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console/
  ln -s $(pwd)/dist ~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console

(essentially, drop the trailing slash. That's what your README [0] says as well.

Note that starter-kit has a `make devel-install` rule [1] to do that, which
avoids these pitfalls. Your project even has that as well [2], even with the
`rm` robustification.

So TL/DR: Run `make devel-install`.

HTH,

Pitti
