Today i've decided to update Fabric, so I downloaded the installer again, and re-installed it for the same MC version, but a newer Fabric version.
All was going well, until the installer failed while creating the mods folder. I have the mods folder has a symlink on my system for ease of mod management.
I believe the error is because the installer checks that the folder exists and is a folder, so if it is a symlink, it considers it non-existant and tries to create it but it fails cause there is already a node with that name (the symlink).
To fix it, I just had to rename the mods symlink to something else, run the installer, and rename it back. But it would be nice if the installer could check for a symlink pointing to a directory as well.
