I think this bug has long ago been fixed, so I'm going to close this bug. Testing shows this:
(laptop) touch doo (laptop) chmod a-w doo (laptop) ll doo -r--r--r-- 1 me me 0 Jan 30 16:46 doo (laptop) acpidump -o doo Target path already exists, overwrite? [y|n] n (laptop) echo $? 255 (laptop) acpidump -o doo Target path already exists, overwrite? [y|n] y Could not open file: Permission denied Could not open output file: doo I also tried this: (laptop) mkdir foo (laptop) chmod a-x foo (laptop) chmod a-w foo (laptop) acpidump -o foo/bar Could not open file: Permission denied Could not open output file: foo/bar Let me know if there's a case I missed somewhere. -- Ciao, al ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Al Stone Debian Developer E-mail: a...@debian.org http://www.debian.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------
