Hi, from https://bugs.debian.org/1055694 where this broke things where files were deliberately not overwritten (klibc installs its utils but only those busybox (when used) does not provide).
In this case not copying the file is absolutely not an error. Perhaps do it like diff(1) and use distinct errorlevels for some files were not copied in -n mode vs. there was an error in those that *were* copied. Then document that in the manpage as extension and reach out to FreeBSD to follow. bye, //mirabilos -- (gnutls can also be used, but if you are compiling lynx for your own use, there is no reason to consider using that package) -- Thomas E.
