The problem is that the default permissions for install are 'rwxr-xr-x' and the directory is currently 'drwxrwsr-x' therefore the program is attempting to make the change to make the directory not group writable.
Hmph, didn't think of that... Cute. Can't install just ignore changing the permissions if a file/directory exists, and if no --mode/--owner/--group flags have been passed in this case? And essentially just use the default permissions when creating a new file/directory? _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
