Hi,
I apologize for not sending the full error report; what I get is the following (on a machine running RedHat 9.0, not some prehistoric system):
$ \rm a b* rm: No match. $ \rm -f a b* rm: No match.
OK, I got the right answer when I switched to "bash"; the wrong answer occurs in "tcsh", which is my usual shell.
So, it seems it is a shell problem after all. I'll try sending the report to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Kind regards
there seems to be a weird bug with the "rm" command, at least with "rm (coreutils) 4.5.3".
This is an quite old version of, the latest stable is 5.0.
Just try the following commands,
rm -i a b*
rm -f a b*
in a test directory containing a file named "a" and no file with a name starting with "b".
I don't know what the bug is supposed to be. -f ignores non-existant files, so it doesn't print anything if some file doesn't exist. $ touch a $ rm -i a b* rm: remove empty file `a'? y rm: cannot lstat `b*': No such file or directory $ touch a $ rm -f a b* $
