I am using pyfmi on Ubuntu system for a co-simulation of Energyplus FMU file and Python and met this error when trying to create the co-simulation.

[INFO][Slave] [ok][FMU status:OK] This version uses the **energyplus** command line interface to call the EnergyPlus executable. **RunEPlus.bat** and **runenergyplus** , which were used in earlier versions, were deprecated as of August 2015.
Running EPMacro...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::filesystem::__cxx11::filesystem_error'
what(): filesystem error: cannot create symlink: File exists [in.epmidf] [in.idf]
It says the files exist, but I am sure there was no such files before running it. I used sudo, so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. I have tried it on Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04 and always the same error. I tried the same code but another FMU file, it works well.
Thank you if you have any suggestions.
