Package: coreutils
Version: 8.21-1
An utterly bizarre bug; ls -l complains that the file doesn't exist
when it does, but goes on to list it anyway:
polya:~/teaching/WGGS-general/ASA2 Handbook/papers $ /bin/ls -l
Module-C3/jun13-C3W.pdf
/bin/ls: Module-C3/jun13-C3W.pdf: No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jdg jdg 61 Oct 4 16:44 Module-C3/jun13-C3W.pdf ->
/home/jdg/teaching/resources/AS-A2-papers/jun13/jun13-C3W.pdf
polya:~/teaching/WGGS-general/ASA2 Handbook/papers $ /bin/ls
Module-C3/jun13-C3W.pdf
Module-C3/jun13-C3W.pdf
polya:~/teaching/WGGS-general/ASA2 Handbook/papers $ [ -f
Module-C3/jun13-C3W.pdf ] && echo yes
yes
polya:~/teaching/WGGS-general/ASA2 Handbook/papers $ od -bc
Module-C3/jun13-C3W.pdf | head -2
0000000 045 120 104 106 055 061 056 064 012 045 342 343 317 323 012 070
% P D F - 1 . 4 \n % 342 343 317 323 \n 8
I haven't got any idea what's going on here or why. The only thing I
can think might be involved is that /home/jdg is an encfs mount:
polya:~/teaching/WGGS-general/ASA2 Handbook/papers $ mount
[...]
encfs on /home/jdg type fuse.encfs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other)
[...]
I'm happy to help debug this further if you can say what you'd like me
to do to test it. (I don't have time right now to go through the
coreutils source code myself to narrow down the source of the bug,
unfortunately.)
Julian
