// http://b/17339227 "Sideloading a Readonly File Results in a Prompt to

// prompt that you get from BSD rm (used in Android 5) if you have a
// non-writable file and stdin is a tty (which is true for old versions of
// adbd).
//
// Unfortunately, `rm -f` requires Android 4.3, so that workaround broke
// earlier Android releases. This was reported as http://b/37704384 "adb
// install -r passes invalid argument to rm on Android 4.1" and
// http://b/37035817 "ADB Fails: rm failed for -f, No such file or
// directory".
//
// Testing on a variety of devices and emulators shows that redirecting
// stdin is sufficient to avoid the pseudo-`-i`, and works on toolbox,
// BSD, and toybox versions of rm.
