yarn link:dev fails with "can't cd into ../dbkoda-ui/dist/ui"

[FalcoGer]

I have cloned dbkoda, dbkoda-controller and dbkoda-ui into the same directory
afterwards I installed yarn, as it was needed, according to the instructions here

Then I ran yarn link:dev as described in the README, but it failed.

> yarn dev:link
yarn run v1.19.1
$ yarn run dev:link:controller && yarn run dev:link:controller:ui && yarn run dev:link:uiDefinitions
$ rimraf assets/controller && ln -s "$(cd ../dbkoda-controller && pwd)" assets/controller && (cd assets/controller && (yarn unlink > /dev/null 2>&1; exit 0) && yarn link) && yarn link "@southbanksoftware/dbkoda-controller"
success Registered "@southbanksoftware/dbkoda-controller".
info You can now run `yarn link "@southbanksoftware/dbkoda-controller"` in the projects where you want to use this package and it will be used instead.
success Using linked package for "@southbanksoftware/dbkoda-controller".
$ cd ../dbkoda-controller && rimraf public/ui && ln -s "$(cd ../dbkoda-ui/dist/ui && pwd)" public/ui
/bin/sh: 1: cd: can't cd to ../dbkoda-ui/dist/ui
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'public/ui' -> '': No such file or directory

I continued on with the installation anyway, and I got some missing/invalid dependency warnings for example:
