Package: coreutils Version: 5.2.1-2 Severity: important I am trying to get write acces to a windows vfat partition. During this I changed permissions with chmod. Seemingly chmod did the job but in reality it did not. This is feigning functionality! See this:
katzes:~# chmod 0777 /windowsC katzes:~# ls -l / total 154 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 24 14:58 bin drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 14 11:26 boot .. .. .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Jan 11 11:37 vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 drwxr--r-- 38 root root 8192 Jan 1 1970 windowsC As you can see chmod accepted the order to change permissions, but did nothing. BTW: Could you please encourage the debian team to replace this horrible bug report program. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-1-k7-smp Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.23-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
