Dear fileutils maintainer,
Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I got the e-mail address of mkdir from the man page, excuse me
if I am reporting at the wrong place.
There is a small buglet in mkdir as distributed with SuSE 6.3.
The following command sequence should make this clear.
I used \command, so it is sure, you're not using an aliased or
functioned version of mkdir:
$ echo $BASH_VERSION
2.03.0(1)-release
$ \mkdir --version
mkdir (GNU fileutils) 4.0
$ uname -rs
Linux 2.2.13-SMP
$ \rm -r ftp
rm: cannot remove `ftp': No such file or directory
$ \mkdir -p --verbose ftp/{pub,incoming,msgs}
created directory `ftp'mkdir: created directory `ftp/pub' <--- missing \n
mkdir: created directory `ftp/incoming'
mkdir: created directory `ftp/msgs'
It should be:
$ \mkdir -p --verbose ftp/{pub,incoming,msgs}
created directory `ftp'
mkdir: created directory `ftp/pub'
mkdir: created directory `ftp/incoming'
mkdir: created directory `ftp/msgs'
Or probably the most consequent:
mkdir: created directory `ftp'
mkdir: created directory `ftp/pub'
mkdir: created directory `ftp/incoming'
mkdir: created directory `ftp/msgs'
My apologies if this was fixed in a newer version.
Kind regards,
Eric Maryniak
