Package: coreutils
Version: 8.4-1
Severity: normal
Hi, I am using test in my maildrop filters and I was furious about this
ja...@gondolin:~$ /usr/bin/test -f/some/nonexistent/file || echo "returned
false"
ja...@gondolin:~$ /usr/bin/test -f /some/nonexistent/file || echo "returned
false"
returned false
I hope given example is self-explaining
I think there are two methods to solve this:
1) test -f/filename returns bad option and dies
2) test -f/filename will be accepted and solved correctly
Same bug reproducible on both stable (6.10-6) and unstable...
Thank you for your time

That is a different bug number. Digits were transposed. But also
fortunately not the right syntax to close the bug either so no harm
done.

Okay. Closing the bug with this message.
