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.
