When I run the following with GNU coreutils (8.21 on Ubuntu 14.04 to be specific) I get this output:
tkelman@nanosoldier4:/tmp$ touch afile tkelman@nanosoldier4:/tmp$ ln -s afile alink tkelman@nanosoldier4:/tmp$ export LC_ALL=C # ubuntu defaults to unicode quotes otherwise tkelman@nanosoldier4:/tmp$ cp -va afile bfile 'afile' -> 'bfile' tkelman@nanosoldier4:/tmp$ cp -va alink blink 'alink' -> 'blink' However with busybox (v1.24.2 in a docker container of Alpine Linux, which as far as I can tell is built with ENABLE_FEATURE_CP_LONG_OPTIONS) I get the expected output from cp -va on files, but not symbolic links: /tmp # touch afile /tmp # ln -s afile alink /tmp # cp -va afile bfile 'afile' -> 'bfile' /tmp # cp -va alink blink /tmp # busybox --help BusyBox v1.24.2 (2016-05-31 09:35:34 GMT) multi-call binary. BusyBox is copyrighted by many authors between 1998-2015. Licensed under GPLv2. See source distribution for detailed copyright notices. Is this a bug? Should the symbolic link code paths of cp be honoring FILEUTILS_VERBOSE?
