Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5.3
Severity: normal
File: /bin/rmdir
joey@kodama:~>mkdir foo
joey@kodama:~>rmdir -p ./foo
rmdir: .: Invalid argument
zsh: exit 1 rmdir -p ./foo
Since "." is never a valid argument to rmdir(), why does rmdir try to do that?
Consider a script that gets input from the user about what directory to act
on, and wants to rmdir it at the end. The current behavior of rmdir forces
each such script to check the user's input to avoid calling rmdir with a
path name starting with "./". I think it would be better for rmdir -p to
simply ignore the "./" and not try to literally rmdir(".") in this case.
