Package: coreutils Version: 5.97-5.3 Severity: wishlist There seems to be no way to change the timestamps of a symbolic link with a shell command. So, it would be nice if 'touch' had an option (e.g. -n / --no-dereference) so that the changes occur on the symbolic link itself (when the file is a symbolic link).
