Package: coreutils Version: 5.96-5 Severity: normal Hi,
It seems that there is an undocumented change in mv's behavior in versions 5.96-1 and later of coreutils. To be brief : - coreutils 5.94-1 : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# mkdir -p test1/test3 test2/test3; mv test2/* test1/ mv: cannot overwrite directory `test1/test3' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# - coreutils 5.96-1 : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# mkdir -p test1/test3 test2/test3; mv test2/* test1/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# I don't know if it's a bug, and what is the expected behaviour, but I think that it should be documented (maybe is there some scripts relying on the old behaviour).
