Subject: "mv symlink/ destname" fails
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2005 22:34:33 +0100
Package: coreutils
Version: 5.93-5
Severity: normal
This bug is related to #121776 and to #122233.
# mkdir bla
# ln -s bla/ bli
# mv bli/ blu
mv: cannot move `bli/' to `blu': Not a directory
As far as I understand the info page it should rename the real directory
"bla" to "blu" instead:
_Warning_: If you try to move a symlink that points to a
directory, and you specify the symlink with a
trailing slash, then `mv' doesn't move the
symlink but instead moves the directory
referenced by the symlink.
