It seems for me that mv in fileutils 4.1.7 changes content of file. * How to reproduce the bug.
mkdir a b cd a echo foo >foo ln foo bar cd ../b echo FUBAR >FUBAR ln FUBAR bar chmod a-w FUBAR bar cd ../a mv -i bar foo ../b Then we are propted like this. mv: overwrite `../b/bar', overriding mode 0444? Say `n'. * What I expected. a/bar and b/foo are linked and thus same. b/foo and b/FUBAR are different. b/foo and b/bar are different too. * What I got. a/bar and b/foo are different. b/foo and b/FUBAR are same. b/foo and b/bar are same. * Why it is wrong. mv changes the contents of foo, which I think should not. -- iida _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
