Is there an existing issue for this?
What are you currently unable to do
When copying a image somewhere (different project or different incus server), the copy fails when a image with the same alias already exist on the destination:
incus image copy incus-01:my-template incus-02: --copy-aliases
Error: Failed remote image download: Alias already exists: my-template
As of now, the alias has to be deleted on the destination before the copy can happen.
What do you think would need to be added
An option like --reuse that 'incus publish' has:
incus image copy incus-01:my-template incus-02: --copy-aliases --reuse
The option would allow for the alias to be "updated" (associated to the copied image)
