Thanks for the report, but this is not a bug. It may appear misleading, but notice that the documentation says -i is equivalent to --reply=query. That means your first command is equivalent to mv -v --reply=query --reply=no f1 f2 and since the latter --reply option takes precedence (canceling the -i), mv performs the requested rename. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
