Thank you for the report. Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce it. Can you give me more details? - architecture - kernel - glibc version (if any) > I am unsure on what was intended, or if even this failure is real (I am > not familiar, yet, with ginstall), but decided to post the output, just > in case. (g)install is an utility similar to cp which is commonly used to install files to system. The new option -C tells (g)install to not copy the file if not necessary (to preserve its original timestamps). In the test failure install -C is called twice to install file with effective UID/GID. So on the second call the file should not be copied. From the log is not obvious if the first call fails to set UID/GID or the second call fails to detect it. Thanks in advance for additional info!
