Is this still happening?

No, but it can happen if a download fails.

I encountered this issue today, and it makes sense that it is related to a failed download. In my case, I had the nightly version and two rollbacks:

bob list
┌────────────────────┬─────────────┐
│  Version           │  Status     │
├────────────────────┼─────────────┤
│  nightly-aa6b9c6   │  Installed  │
│  nightly           │  Used       │
│  nightly-e702030   │  Installed  │
└────────────────────┴─────────────┘

For some reason, probably due to a failed download, the nightly version was the same as the rollback nightly-e702030 :

NVIM v0.11.0-dev-322+ge7020306a
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.1716656478
Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info

When updating, bob is likely trying to check the current version and then create the corresponding rollback version. Since both versions are the same, it results in the error "File exists".

I fixed it by uninstalling the nightly-e702030 version with bob uninstall nightly-e702030. Then I updated it as usual, and bob was able to create the rollback version I had just uninstalled, as you can see:

bob list
┌────────────────────┬─────────────┐
│  Version           │  Status     │
├────────────────────┼─────────────┤
│  nightly-aa6b9c6   │  Installed  │
│  nightly           │  Used       │
│  nightly-e702030   │  Installed  │
└────────────────────┴─────────────┘

As expected, the nightly and rollback versions are no longer the same:

NVIM v0.11.0-dev-323+g8f5e90811
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.1716656478
Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info

Do you guys still get this error on newer versions? and if so what are ways I could reproduce this?
