If the versions are different, it could be that you are using an older version on the one where it doesn't work (reading NEWS can confirm when the feature was changed; in the case of 'touch -', the behavior was changed for 5.90 back in 2005). If the versions claim to be the same (or newer than the point where NEWS documents that the change), then your vendor has applied a downstream patch, and you should ask your vendor to help you find their downstream patches and why they want the changed behavior from upstream. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
