Hi,

Currently in gentoo, we offer fileutils-4.1.11 and coreutils-4.5.10 (which is 
currently masked for testing, and we are ready to replace the 3 utils with coreutils, 
as soon as it goes stable according to GNU).

The problem is a slight modification of one reported here:

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-fileutils/2003-01/msg00002.html

Now, the results are as follows:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ mkdir test
[EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ touch test/testfile
[EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ ln -s test test2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ rm test2/
rm: remove directory `test2/'? y
rm: cannot remove directory `test2/': Is a directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ rmdir test2/
rmdir: `test2/': Not a directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ rm test2/
rm: remove directory `test2/'? y
rm: cannot remove directory `test2/': Is a directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ rm test2
rm: remove symbolic link `test2'? y

What gives? is it a directory or isn't it? :P

Note, that a user pointed my attention to this in gentoo's bugzilla:

Thanks for your attention,
